Christina Rice:  Mixed Media Mythology

Christina Rice’s work has been shown in galleries and festivals in the United States. Her detailed portraits are often mistaken for photos but are really done in dry media like charcoal, graphite and pastel. She works in mixed media using paint, fabric, hand-made papers, beads, hair, anything that contributes texture & brilliant color, concentrating on one color per piece. Her themes are based on mythology and historical characters & she seeks to beautify ordinary reality and express it as an enduring myth.Her artistic influences include Klimt, Hiroshige, Henri Rousseau, Erte, Rauschenberg, the pre-Raphaelites, and late 19th/early 20th century fairy tale illustrators.
