Yurik grew up in Half Moon Bay, California. He graduated from San Jose State with a degree in illustration and then studied at The Art Students League of NYC. His medium of choice continues to be oil painting on linen canvas because of it's archival quality. In 2001 , he was hired by his childhood inspiration, the George Lucas companies, and spent 3 years working on video games as a Computer 3D artist working on Star Wars video games.
It was during this time that Yurik was introduced by a friend to the world of transformation, meditation, rave culture, and San Francisco urban tribalism. Yurik dove in with a passion. Over the years since it has infuenced his art greatly.

Yurik’s Art imagery speaks of the teachings from Werner Erhard, Vic Boranko, David Deada, Tony Robbins, Alan Watts, Ekhart Tolle, the Buddha, and many others. It also speaks to the growing trend in the world of urban tribalism, spirituality, technolization, and global connection. His oil paintings of surreal and technologically enhanced creatures creating the world they live in, struggling with their attachments to material experience, and merging in spiritual connection with one another - evoke a sense of wonder and possibility. They are an up-to-the minute reflection of modern man’s struggle to know himself in the Age of Information and Globalization.

Today, Yurik Riegel is a Fine Artist, Personal Coach, and Author living in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Her childhood was scattered across Canada as her family gradually made their way west. It was enriching to see the country in such variety and detail. Her father settled in the small town of Field in the Yoho valley of the Rocky Mountains, and Columbia Lake. Her mother and stepfather built their home between Powell River and Lund on the Sunshine coast. Spending her seasons between the majesty of the mountains and the serenity of the ocean and lush forest, Skye developed a deep appreciation for beauty.

As soon as she was old enough to hold a pencil, she would spend countless hours playing with colours and figures. Since her childhood stick men she has been drawn to the human form, and to this day she strives to capture its life and essence.

At seven years old I knew I wanted to be an artist; and sold my first drawing at ten. I began painting with oils after receiving a set from a good friend on my 12th birthday. At age 13 I won an award from the Denver Public Schools.
I also wanted to be a mermaid when I grew up. Some of you may know me as Jamie the Mermaid. I took classes at University of Colorado Denver Center and San Francisco Art Institute, then received Bachelor of Fine Arts degrees from University of San Francisco, Magna Cum Laude, and with distinction from the Academy of Art College. My MFA is from the SF Art Institute.
