Cornell Art Museum: Spotlight Gallery Opening

December 6, 2019-Susan E. Riley “Simplicity”

Boca Raton, FL – The Cornell Art Museum presents an upcoming exhibition by Suzy E. Riley titled, Simplicity in the Spotlight Gallery for the month of December 2019. Simplicity is a play on words, not only referring to the Simplicity Pattern Company, but for the Simplicity many of us strive for in an overly technological world, and the desire to Simplify as we age. Each painting may be shown with Ms. Riley’s inspirational fashion design on a mannequin, making her exhibit both 2 and 3 dimensional. The exhibition is inspired by dress patterns from the Susan E. Riley Couture Collection, and her paintings, a true collaboration of Art and Couture. Her acrylic on canvas paintings have a Simplicity quote. Ms. Riley, celebrating 25 years Riley sa fashion designer and an artist,has a boutique on Worth Avenue on Palm Beach Island and had attended the country’s most prestigious fashion schools. 

Opening on Friday December 6, 2019 with a reception beginning at 6pm, in tandem with the First Friday Art Walk. Simplicity will be on view until December 28, 2019.
