Mildred Jarrow Riley
Painter
"Primitive Soul" -- "Tsunami"
"Hopi Face" -- "Ankor"
Mildred Riley has spent the last
seventy years expressing the beauty and emotions of life in a wide variety of
artistic forms. From a classical training with oils and watercolors to a
modernistic eclecticism involving both large and small paintings, assemblage,
sculpture, furniture, clothing, and most recently computer art, she embodies the
essence of a free spirit reflecting an exuberant appreciation of the human
psyche dynamically expressed.
Her works are not only in many world-class private collections, but have been
seen in a myriad of galleries, museums and shows throughout the decades. Some
the shows include Milwaukee Art Museum, Palm Springs Desert Art Museum, The
Weintraub Gallery in New York, San Francisco Museum of Art, Chicago Art
Institute, the Rodeo Collection and BGH Gallery, Santa Monica. After 70 years as
an artist, she now feels that being at the leading edge is her true aim. This
also has been true with her appreciation, study and collection of fine art.
Integrating what she has learned, experienced and envisioned, the artistic
product, which emerges often, creates a somewhat sophisticated, yet radical
commentary about what she sees and feels. When asked what she intends to do with
the rest of her life, Mildred Riley's snappy reply . . . "I'm doing it now!"
Mildred has recently moved to the Rancho Palos Verdes area where she intends to
continue her exploration of art and life.
