Chris Riley’s journey began back in 2017 when his wife jokingly told him to paint a piece of artwork that they’d been searching weeks for, unbeknown a few days later he had it painted and up on the wall.
After a positive response from friends and family, Chris Riley Art began. Riley started out painting just about anything which led him to find what he really enjoys painting―florals and wildlife. He started painting as a full-time artist in December 2018.
Exclusive to Gibson, Riley has captured the beauty of Australia’s native animals and birds for two unique gift ranges.
In the animal collection there are six beautiful paintings of the echidna, kangaroo, koala, kookaburra, platypus and wombat with vivid background colours that bring the animals to life.
The contemporary bird range uses bright pop colours and geometric designs to depict a cockatoo, rosella, galah and kookaburra which would be a beautiful feature piece in any home.
For overseas gifts or for Australian themed decors, pair the Chris Riley ranges with one of Gibson’s super soft and cuddly Australian Animalia plush toys. The range starts at $1.95 wholesale and Animalia at $12.50 wholesale.
