Life

She graduated from Massachusetts College of Art and Design, and from Tyler School of Art.

Career

Her 2013 "Nudes" series appropriates images posted to social media, which Riley has recreated in her medium.

...guns, syringes, bongs, vomit, sex, cars crashing, no topic is too much to be recreated on Erin’s loom.

Her work was recently shown during the 2015 Art Basel Miami week at Miami Projects and the KITH Homage exhibit concurrently. In 2013, Erin M. Riley was among eight women artists featured in Seattle-based Brian Ohno Gallery's exhibition entitled "Get Naked," which focused on works relating to the female body and sexuality. Also in 2013, her work was shown at Philadelphia's Paradigm Gallery and the Joseph Gross Gallery at the University of Arizona.
