{"title":"Rie Design","description":"\u003cp\u003eMarie Thomas, better known around the community as Rie, has been creating since she was old enough to grab a pen and vandalize her baby book. She currently resides in Sacramento with her 2 amazing children, who are the real bosses. Sacramento has been her home for over 16 years and before then has lived in many places growing up a military brat from Germany to Texas and a few different areas of California and a brief stint in Colorado and Washington. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShe graduated from the Art Institute of California - San Francisco in 2005 but has been a student of art and creativity her whole life. In college she learned how to hone her technical skills and push her fine art knowledge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter college, she focused on raising her family and design career. Art took a back seat for a few years but never stopped. The last couple years she has pushed herself out of her comfort zone to put her art out for the masses. This was hard for her because art up until then was mostly a coping mechanism and she wasn’t completely sure the public would receive it. When she finally got out of her own way she found that not only did they come to see it, they felt connected to it and wanted it for themselves! Since then she’s been pursing the art, as well as, maintaining her design business.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA ‘creataholic’ by nature, Rie has always infused creative ideas into whatever she’s working on. Her business, rie design, began as a graphic design firm and has grown to also incorporate her art. Her style is bold colors and abstract shapes with women figures blended in some pieces. Rie has been experimenting recently and is reusing garage sale and thrift store finds to turn them into art! Many of her pieces now are on canvas but also has pieces on paper, skateboards, tiles and mannequins. \u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"rie-design-4x6-originals","title":"Rie Design - 4x6 Originals","description":"\u003cp style=\"margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue';\"\u003e4\"x6\" canvas with acrylic paint. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Artist\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue';\"\u003eMarie Thomas, better known around the community as Rie, currently resides in Sacramento with her 2 amazing children, who are the real bosses.

Rie’s mom didnt cover it up she just added a note next to it saying it was her first drawing. It wasn’t until high school that she really even considered herself an artist and that it was something she wanted to do. Up until then art, to her, was just a coping mechanism. It was a constant that she had in her life as she moved from place to place as a military brat, it quieted her mind when the world around her was spinning out of control and it also was a way to help her focus in class during lectures. When she finally thought of herself as an artist… she applied to art school and finally started investing in herself. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atrium 916 - Sacramento.Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44332908675165,"sku":null,"price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0292\/7303\/0749\/files\/IMG_0412.jpg?v=1775867510"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0292\/7303\/0749\/collections\/Rie_logo.png?v=1775867723","url":"https:\/\/sacramento.shop\/collections\/rie-design.oembed","provider":"Atrium 916 - Sacramento.Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
