Lydia Riegle is an established painter and printmaker. Her expansive gestural approach and material exploration cross-pollinate in abstract paintings and printmaking resulting in artwork that is highly charged, complex, and uniquely personal. Often utilizing smooth stencil contours, Riegle's work incorporates a present-day interpretation of history, connections, and the common stories we remember and share. Riegle combines a Degree in International Studies with an emphasis in Latin American Studies from the University of Colorado Denver. Her studies and experiences at the Art Students League of Denver as well as with Homare Ikeda, Jordan Wolfson and Mark Lunning create her personal perspective toward her art making.
She is an active member of Denver's art community participating in art symposium panels, juried art shows, and art educational demonstrations. As a member of Sync Gallery since 2011 and D'art Gallery since 2019 she was awarded Best Painting at The Best of Art District on Santa Fe in 2014. She has been interviewed by Voyage Denver, Denver Dart Magazine, and most recently, an online show review, Daria Art Magazine. Her 2021 exhibitions schedule includes: Littleton Museum “Colorado Abstracted”; Lakewood Cultural Center “Turning Toward the Light”, Arvada Center for the Arts & Humanities, “Viral Influence”, "Not So Black & White" Bleue Tile Gallery & Art Space; and D’art Gallery “Shaken, Stirred, Savored”.
