Betsey Rice

(American, 20th C.) Betsey Rice, who lives in New England, has been working with clay for over 35 years. These pieces feature her most recent efforts in creating marine life forms. Betsey's intent is to celebrate the richness of nature by sculpting commonly found sea life in oversized proportions and to awaken the viewer to the wonders of our natural surroundings. All pieces are made of high-fire stoneware or porcelain and can be hung or displayed inside or out. Many are multi-fired to attain the depth of coloring.    MORE »
