I draw from both personal experiences, as well as from seeing things happen around me. My paintings and sculptural pieces give me the freedom to be hands on with my theme, whereas my graphic work gives me a chance to sit down and reflect on these issues more.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-28 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/blog.valdosta.edu\/seniorcat\/keith-riley\/kr_3\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.valdosta.edu\/seniorcat\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/93\/2017\/03\/KR_3-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/blog.valdosta.edu\/seniorcat\/keith-riley\/kr_1\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.valdosta.edu\/seniorcat\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/93\/2017\/03\/KR_1-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/blog.valdosta.edu\/seniorcat\/keith-riley\/kr_2\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.valdosta.edu\/seniorcat\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/93\/2017\/03\/KR_2-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My artwork illustrates broken dreams, bad decisions, and the violence that can come with trying to fit in.
