i'm riles, a Seattle artist and collage poet who shapes phrases around feelings, reminding us that softness is a strength, and we are in this together. i work to cultivate creativity and curate community to enable us all to have the space to explore ourselves and be our best selves, so that together we can create our best world.

while you're here, i'd love to show you my patreon where i publish a monthly handmade art zine 'small things for soft hearts' & am building other community-based initiatives. click here to check it out!

i'd also love if you want to join my online community, the soft heart society. we have a monthly art challenge where we all create art together around a certain plant and theme, we have regular voice chat art hangouts, and once we have enough folks join we'll be starting a book club! click here to join the discord server.

with love, riles.
