Guest Artist Marianne Rice | VIVA Gallery | Thursday, June 1 @ 5pm – 7pm

Marianne Rice is a fine art oil painter. She is an emerging artist in traditional and representational oil painting using classical techniques. She considers making a life with art a great privilege and in her work desires to bring beauty and a sense of wonder to the lives of others for generations to come. “To be moved by a painting is to sense a spirit of familiarity, a shared human experience that can return you briefly to a moment, a place or a wistful memory. It can move your heart toward emotion, what is art if not emotion?”

Marianne was born and raised in rural small town Wisconsin and resides there still with her husband and four boys. She is a self taught artist and has been working in oils since 2019.
