From painting trucks
to painting flowers

Chris Riley is not your
average artist.

Chris’ art journey took a major detour in 2017 when he swapped the large, metallic background of cars and trucks for painting on canvas. His first work was a surprise commission for his wife, Tracy, who had wanted a piece of art for their living room but couldn’t find anything she liked. Returning home from work one day, Tracy discovered a beautiful painting hanging over the couch: the first Chris Riley original. 18 months after successfully applying his talent to canvas, and completing and selling multiple artworks, Chris Riley Art was officially established.
