ABOUT Jess Rice

  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. 

 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.  

 I really enjoy the layering process of acrylics, and the brilliant colours are fun to work with.  

 Another new medium for me, currently I'm working with oils and palette knifes.
