ABOUT Jess Rice
Artist Statement
I am an artist who grew up on a ranch in Montana and now live on the West Coast, both settings have influenced my work. I paint bright, bold paintings which lean towards romantic realism.
Watercolour
Watercolours have always been my passion. I can walk into a gallery of paintings and I will be drawn to the watercolours first. I really enjoy the less is more style of painting.
Oil
Another new medium for me, currently I'm working with oils and palette knifes.
Acrylic
I really enjoy the layering process of acrylics, and the brilliant colours are fun to work with.
Collage
A new medium I'm trying out is collage. I don't know where it is going to take me yet but I'm enjoying the journey.
