Rita Rie - Local Ventura County Artist            eMail   |    Website Gallery 

Rita Rie is a native Californian who divides her time as an artist, writer, family and businessperson, and whatever else catches her attention. Always one with several 'irons in the fire' or 'hay on her pitchfork,' she is never at a loss for words. 'I have an idea' is a favorite phrase that inspires or sometimes frightens those around her.

Traveling provides fuel for her passion of art, along with meeting new people, learning about different cultures and trying new cuisine. It's also great to capture scenes from clients' favorite vacation spots.
