Bio
Adlai Wertman
I have known Richelle for nearly a decade when she interned for my center at USC. Richelle is a brilliant artist with a deep passion for social impact. She innately understands how art can play a role in solving some of the world's most critical problems. This intersection shows in her art as well as in her other pursuits. Richelle is the real thing and I would work with her again without great enthusiasm and without hesitation.
Andrea Voinot
Richelle is incredibly warm, bright and energetic. She throws herself 100% into everything she does whether it be her own art or a project she is working on. I totally enjoyed working with her at Kala Art Institute and highly recommend her!

"Overview" and "Linked" are two large-scale, mixed-media installations depicting networks which shape and connect our planet. Inspired by author Frank White's concept of the "overview effect," this painting aims to create a renewed sensation of viewing Earth as if from space in order to more clearly see our interconnectivity from a new perspective. By merging biological, technological, and social systems across micro and macro timescales, artist Richelle Gribble suggests that we are evolving towards hive-like connectivity within a complex planetary society.
