Nick Riley is a graduate from Towson University's illustration program. Who, like many others, decided to drop his attempts to become a scientist and pursue his passion for art. This quirky character likes long walks on the beach and spending countless hours honing his skills for his craft. Though detail is important, his inspiration for art comes from impressionist and expressionist ideals. The soul of the artist shows through each brushstroke and is imbued with a lifetime of experience that leads their hand to make the mark. Though his works are primarily digital, he still enjoys the occasional act of getting paint on everything in his studio. As his picture suggests, he also enjoys occasionally looking off into the distance for extended periods of time.
