Clay Rice

Clay, like his grandfather Carew, believes that the true masters of hand cut silhouettes do not limit their work to profiles of people. As evidenced in his low country and landscape scenes, as well as his sublimely illustrated children’s books, that mastery is obvious. From the beginning of his professional career, he pushed the limits of his families art, with the notion that EVERYTHING has a silhouette. His cutouts became more and more elaborate as he developed his own style, all the while holding true to his grandfather’s pioneering work.
