My name is Mary Riles. I was born and raised in Danville , Va and have lived in Roanoke , Va since 1972. As a child, I always had an artistic creative mind. I am a self taught artist and I love to create all kinds of things from all kind of materials. I use mosaic tiles, eggshells,alcohol ink, acrylic paint, glass,metal, clay, plaster, plastic,and an array of recyclable materials. I also love to instruct children and adults how to do these things. I also write poetry, bird watch, draw sketches and love to take photos of the skies and animals.
