Biography: as per askart Maureen Siobbhan Riley (20th century) was active/lived in United States.  Maureen Riley is known for Realist bronze sculpture, shooting sports themes. Sculptor Maureen Siobhan Riley grew into the sporting life quite early, learning about gun dogs from her Granddad and about sculpture from his best friend, Walter Midener. The shooting sports - sporting clays, horses, scuba diving, archery and fishing have played a big part in her life from childhood to the present - these country pursuits being the stuff of which her art is made. Educated at Eastern Michigan University and the University of Michigan, Riley chose sculpture as a medium in which to express her experiences and was soon exhibiting and selling her work at shooting events. Representational Bronze that focuses on a chance observation, a dynamic moment, these are the things that interest this sculptor. When creating a sculpture it is important to Maureen that she gets in front of her subject. Observation is key to creating that essence she strives for in her work.
