Jane Riley

New Zealand Artist | Painting

Jane Riley’s artworks reflect her love of the natural environment. Interpreted with tremendous energy, passion and flair these artworks often incorporate textures of sand, gemstones, shells and other natural materials. The finished art works are striking – unique - vibrating with flamboyant colour and design.

‘There is magic everywhere and I aspire to inspire before I expire! I enjoy a challenge and eternally strive to better myself. Once you know the ropes (techniques) you can stray from them. I love brainstorming and inventing new ideas. I love the peace and magic that comes in great times of inspiration when lost in creating. I predominantly work in oils and currently am finding great excitement in pouring and mixing media with liquitex creations. These obtain shiny translucent effects - wonderful for water and layered creations!’

Riley proudly exhibited in Parliament in 2017 – also winning the 2020 and 2017 Christchurch Art Show Peoples Choice Award. Published as one of New Zealand’s Favourite artist, Jane’s artworks are displayed in various national and international private collections.
