Shari Riley has been involved in fine arts education in Texas for over 25 years with 18 of those years in Ector County ISD.

It is her delight to watch the creative talents and abilities of students in various disciplines of the arts while providing support to the educators. Mrs. Riley’s message to the ECISD art show participants: Congratulations art students on the beautiful expressions of visual art you have created and shared! Thank you, art instructors, for guiding the talent of your students and, truly, making an impact on their lives. To both students and teachers, it is my hope that art will forever remain a part of your life and that you will continue to bring beauty, thought, perspective, and personal expressions to future generations. The world needs your creative and artistic offerings! Congratulations!
