Monterey Peninsula Art Foundation

George Riley

Picture
​Now retired and painting part time, George first studied art in high school. But art gave way to the conventional life of work and family. After retiring from a career in local government administration, art has reentered his life.

George has had painting instruction from Dick Crispo, Jan Valtr, Mark Farina and several local college instructors. He likes loose representations of compositions interesting to him. He tries to present a mixture of the familiar with a mood that could transport the viewer. George likes acrylics because of its demand for speed when painting wet, and the surprises it offers.

He is a member of the Monterey Peninsula Art Foundation and has shown his work there for 12 years. He has been a member of the Central Coast Art Association, and has shown work in the Pacific Grove Art Association, Artist Loft on Cannery Row and the Seaside Jazz Art Competition.

George lives in Monterey. His wife passed away in 2015. She was a painter an potter. George's other interest is political activism in support of the fundamental principles of democracy, voting rights and progressive activism. He currently leads Public Water Now and the community campaign to remove the profit from water by acquiring the CalAm water system.
