Abstract black and white artwork with wavy lines and textured surfaces.

erin riley is a writer and artist whose work moves between the inner world and the outer landscape — poetry, prose, and image emerging from the depths of dream and contemplative practice.

creative

writing and art that emerges from twenty years of depth work. four manuscripts unfolding: Inward, a poetry collection of descent and return; Into Darkness, Into Light, a memoir of sacred journeys and inner initiations; Ache of the Liminal, a poetry collection dwelling in the ache of liminal spaces; A Feminine Sadhana of Awakening, a collection of writing from within the awakening feminine.

contemplative

this work begins in the body, in dreams, in the stillness of sacred spaces across the world and on the meditation cushion. the writing and art is what emerges from that practice.
