They include hand-painted clothbound book covers, block prints of flora and fauna, and collaborations with brands like Framebridge, ChappyWrap, and Ralph Lauren. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Falls Church\u2013based artist\u2019s latest project is her debut book,\u202f<em>Modern Motherhood<\/em>, which illustrates profound and everyday moments of parenthood through the lens of modern delft tiles. We caught up with Sheehey about her love of books and painting, and where she finds her inspiration.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-inspired-you-to-start-painting-classic-book-covers\">What inspired you to start painting classic book covers?\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>My husband found an old copy of <em>Little Women<\/em> \u2014 it\u2019s my favorite. I painted the cover thinking, \u2018I\u2019ll give this to my daughter at some point as a gift.\u2019 She\u2019s 3 now. I posted it on Instagram, and people were asking questions about it. It was really fun to paint it, and I\u2019ve always loved to read, so I just started painting more and more books. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-are-there-others-that-you-would-love-to-paint\">Are there others that you would love to paint?\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>My daughter\u2019s really into Winnie the Pooh right now, so I think it would be sweet to do one of those. I\u2019ve done one [of the] <em>Anne of Green Gables<\/em> [books] but would really like to do another because that\u2019s one of my favorites. And <em>Tuck Everlast<\/em>ing is another one I\u2019m looking for.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/northernvirginiamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/rileyart.jpg\" alt=\"art by riley sheehey\" class=\"wp-image-523502\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Courtesy Riley Sheehey<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-was-the-inspiration-for-your-book-modern-motherhood\">What was the inspiration for your book, <em>Modern Motherhood<\/em>? \u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The book was inspired by delft tiles. They\u2019re about 400 years old and initially were inspired by Chinese tiles and would tell little stories. I was really inspired by the idea of these little story tiles and just started sketching them out. At the same time, I was noticing all these little moments with my daughter that were just so sweet. So I started painting these little moments of motherhood as delft tiles. I did a print run which did really well and eventually thought it would be really sweet to do a book. <em>Modern Motherhood<\/em> is a book of 100 illustrations. There are a couple captions, but not a whole lot of writing other than my introduction. It\u2019s a very giftable book for moms, grandmas, aunts, and any kind of caretaker.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-are-there-any-local-virginia-brands-that-you-would-love-to-collaborate-with\">Are there any local Virginia brands that you would love to collaborate with?\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve been like a big fan for years of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.quirkhotels.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Quirk Hotel<\/a> in Richmond. I\u2019ve always thought it would be fun to do something there. My friend Sarah owns a little flower shop in Falls Church called <a href=\"https:\/\/botanologica.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Botanologica<\/a>. Together we\u2019ve talked about how it would be really fun to do a summer block party in Falls Church. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-where-do-you-go-in-the-area-when-you-need-inspiration\">Where do you go in the area when you need inspiration? \u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Definitely Botanologica. And in DC, I love <a href=\"https:\/\/www.doaks.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dumbarton Oaks<\/a>. And, it\u2019s not really for inspiration, but <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dominionwineandbeerstore.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dominion Wine and Beer<\/a> is my favorite place to go. We\u2019re there at least once a week for dinner. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>This interview has been edited for length and clarity.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Feature image photo by Abby Grace Springmann, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/abbygracephoto\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@abbygracephoto<\/a>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>This story originally ran in our&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/northernvirginiamag.com\/in-this-issue\/in-this-issue-july-2025\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">July Issue<\/a>.
