Alexandra Riley

I was born in Dorking, Surrey over 40 years ago!!, and for 20 of those years I worked several different roles, all office based..However a traffic accident and a decline in my health, made me realise that I had the opportunity to finally do something I truly enjoyed, and that was creativity.

About 8 years ago I started designing in textile, norwegian based embroidery called Hardanger. I thoroughly enjoyed creating designs, which were sold in the States, and for 3 years, I had the rights from New Line Cinema, to create scenes from Lord of the RIngs. 3 years ago, I was given a Faber Castell Art Set containing 12 Pencils and 72 water soluble colour pencils in a wooden box and a sketch book. It was at that point I finally realised that my love for drawing had to be pursued.

I am a self taught artist, and I have been inspired by Mike Sibley, and also David Dancey. I havn't used my colour pencils yet, as I am so in love with graphite, but there may come a day when something will inspire me.

I am available for Commission work for family portraits, pet portraits, or anything dear to your heart, etc and should you be interested, please email me and I can send you more informatiion.

I hope you enjoy my work!
