ABOUT

Riah (she/they) grew up in Northern California where they began their art journey drawing at the age of 3. Driven by passion, they continued to practice art for the rest of their lives, pursuing art displays & shows throughout their teen years. Riah was professionally trained in traditional and digital mediums, earning a degree in Fine Arts from The Academy of Art University in San Francisco. After education, Riah relocated to San Diego, CA where they managed the gallery for the Australian Fine Artist, Concetta Antico who was diagnosed with Tetrachromacy (a rare eye condition that allows the cells to receive more color). While working with Concetta, they continued learning about color theory and oil impressionist painting by assisting her during studio classes and sessions.

After living in San Diego for some time, Riah returned to San Francisco to immerse themselves in a shared art-focused living space. This provided opportunities to pursue further exposure in the Bay Area art scene, where they worked for an award-winning escape room, Palace Games. Riah’s artwork is currently viewable in “The Edison Room” and “The Attraction”. Both rooms have won awards and extensively positive reviews for the team's production value toward the aesthetic and artistry.

Currently, Riah is creating a few solo collections in Denver, CO.
