Artist Statement
"My life is art."
Alison Jane Rice is a multidisciplinary artist with awards for art excellence.
Her exposure to a range of visual practices and passion for flora and fauna led to diversification in her creative career. Rice’s practice includes drawing, painting, illustration, preserved flower & gem collage, print-making, poetry and photography.
In her practice Alison develops distinct themes and creates innovative visual portraits and narratives empathetic to our natural environment.
Known for her unique Collector Editions, Alison’s fine art is executed with a graphic intention both striking and memorable. Her compositions, channelled from an innate sensitivity, evoke a sense of the feminine intuitive and encourage mindfulness toward the fragility of all living organisms.
Working with gold and silver leaf, crystals, gemstones, preserved flora, ink, graphite and paint mediums, the artist skilfully combines these elements into intricately-detailed works.
Celebrating beauty and interconnectedness Alison implores the need to protect the earthly mantle that connects humankind with the cosmos without disturbing its common thread. A complex relationship of the mysterious feminine and analytical masculine principles which she intuitively explores through the creative process.
“As a borne Creative it’s exhilarating to suspend the essence of nature to capture our connection with the Divine.”
