This Friday’s featured artist is Rebecca Riley and her mixed media map paintings.

Composite Map 1, acrylic on paper, 62" x 50"

I love the intricacy and patterns in her most recent work – her series of map paintings.

Colorado Front Range, acrylic, mixed media and maps on paper, 30" x 42"

Composite Map 2, acrylic, mixed media and maps on paper, 60" x 72"

Paris, acrylic on paper, 28" x 31"

In 2012, Rebecca Riley also produced a show titled Randomland, depicting invented worlds, built from numerous types of maps and atlases. Check out her website here, too!

TGIF!

I Love these! They look like rock, like Agate sliced in two and polished, gorgeous and very inspiring, thanks for sharing, I will search out more of her work.

This work is amazing. It must have taken so much time for her to complete this piece, but well worth the effort.
