About Me
Natural Constructivism
Riley has worn many hats in his life. After graduating from Londons Royal College of Art, he enjoyed a successful career as an industrial designer. Most notably, he designed and manufactured a plastic spoon for Häagen-Dazs, keyrings for fashion legend Vivienne Westwood, and had one of his drawings featured in the permanent collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. After a spell as a rock musician and a property remodeller, he moved from the UK to Grenada in 2016, where he devotes himself entirely to painting.
