Megan Gleason Riley is an artist and art educator. Her paintings show glimpses of everyday life that are brightened by whimsical color, light and emphasize simple shapes. She often finds inspiration from her young students – who use bold colors and are uninhibited by realism.
Her cheery designs appealed to a team of judges who selected one of her works -- a painting titled "Lemonade and Gerber Daisies" -- to feature in "Best of Virginia Artists and Artisans 2005."
