This helped to shape her understanding of broken lives and fractured families. From these, and from her personal experiences as a young girl living in Kentucky during the early 1970’s, Riley crafted Monica Campbell, the vulnerable and flawed young woman struggling to escape both family dysfunction and social injustice.
Riley serves as an editor within a national volunteer organization. Her artwork can be found in various collections including the West Virginia Division of Culture and History Museum and the Coast Guard Fine Art collection.view less
