About the artwork and sitter
Riley is a high school student who dreams of designing games. When he needs a break from coding and problem solving he plays out the compositions in his head on any instrument handy.
In this portrait we see Riley perched like a bird, playing the piano. On the rare cold day, he finds himself composing in his oodie.
About the artist

Beale is primarily interested in the narrative within artworks and how people are connected to place; to this end, many of her works centre around her home of Wynnum and surrounding areas.
