About Amy Rice Art

I use nontraditional print-making methods--including hand cut stencils and a 1980’s Japanese screen printing toy called a Gocco printer--as a starting point for original mixed media pieces. I use enamel spray paint, acrylics, gouache, and inks, and print on a variety of surfaces including wood, fabric and antique papers (preferring handwritten love letters, envelopes, journal pages, sheet music and maps). I am most satisfied when I can make a tangible or visceral connection between the materials used and the image rendered. My work is deeply layered, often both literally and figuratively. My imagery--nostalgic and wistful--is largely biographical and reflective of my pensive nature. I live in Minneapolis, Minnesota and I have exhibited my work extensively at galleries in the US and beyond for almost two decades. My fine art is represented by Groveland Gallery in Minneapolis. All of my greeting cards offered here are printed on 100% post-consumer recycled paper at Smart Set Craft Printers, a certified B Corporation (Certified B Corporations balances purpose and profit. They are legally required to consider the impact of their decisions on their workers, customers, suppliers, community, and the environment.) they are a union shop, my neighbors and my printers for two decades.
