“What is done with love is done well.”

Vincent Van Gogh

That quote is probably in my top 4 favorite quotes (here’s the rest of the favorites). It’s something that I live by almost every day. This website is a collection of the things that I’ve done with love—art I’ve made, things I’ve written, places I’ve been, books that stuck with me, people I care about, and all the random things I’ve gotten curious about along the way. It’s a little gallery of my life and the things that make it meaningful. Thanks for stopping by! Click on each to learn more.

Welcome to The Riva Gallery.

A collection of personal, functional art. Pieces made to be used, worn, or just make a space feel a little more you.
Aka “art made to be lived with”.
My blog! This is a space for thoughts that don’t quite fit anywhere else into what I do—musings on life, little joys, heartbreaks, questions, and all the in-betweens. Think of it like a digital journal, open to anyone who might need it.
A growing archive of books I’ve read—some life-changing, some recommendations, or ones I just liked a lot (or ones I really didn’t).
From handmade souvenirs to filmed memories, this is a record of the places I’ve been and the small things I noticed while I was there.
