Hi I’m Riva

A happy creative , I live in Yorkshire UK .

Busy in all areas of my life !

The word bored doesn’t exist in my vocabulary.

Mainly inspired by the natural world, previous travels & my love of the sea, landscapes,flowers & aerial views of our beautiful planet ,with the endless shapes colours & textures they all provide.

This rhythm of nature & a love of music allows me my fuel to create multi layered abstract paintings, mainly in acrylics with lots of mixed media.

Self expression always dominates. As my paintings develop, the changes become more considered but I remain courageous & energetic, which creates intrigue & emotion for the viewer …of course I also love the happy accidents that magically appear.
