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 care, 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.

I work with bright colors and big feelings to help highlight the beauty in everything around us. I create work with collaged words to center the idea that everything has been said before, but we are just reframing it through our own lenses. we are all more similar than we are different, and together we can create the world we want to live in.

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' & share a more exclusive look into my in-process art work. Click here to check it out!

with love, riles.
