Jennifer Rice

Hello, I'm so glad you are here! My name is Jennifer and I'm an artist and illustrator inspired to paint the beauty of the wilderness and wildlife of my home here in the Pacific Northwest.  My artwork reflects my love of color and the joy I feel in the natural world.

I love living near the mountains and the ocean. As a native of Seattle, both the lush mountains and the beautiful placid Puget Sound have been a constant in my life. My dad would take me fishing, hunting for chanterelle mushrooms, and backpacking through the Cascades and the wild Olympic mountains. I would spend weeks on a boat with a friend, exploring the Puget Sound and the San Juan Islands.

I love experimenting with new mediums; however, my favorites are watercolor, acrylic, gouache, pen and ink, and painting/sketching digitally in Procreate on an iPad. I thoroughly enjoy working digitally because I can combine techniques and textures between mediums, and present them in new and unique ways. I can set the iPad down and pick it back up where I left off, a very important aspect when you are a parent of busy boys! Digital painting brings everything I love about acrylic, watercolor, and mixed media onto one page at my fingertips.
