About
Statement
'I'd say an artist brings many parts of their life experience to their work. Much of mine is collected quite close to home, from my garden and around the coastal landscape of Lorne on Victoria’s picturesque Great Ocean Road in Southern Victoria, Australia.' — Trudy Rice
Press Release
'I love using color. At art school I was told to ‘tone my colors down,' but now in my practice, the colors have come alive.'
'My initial drawings are placed in the sun with a photopolymer plate and etched into the plate. Solar plate etching is quite a time-consuming process. But the results produced capture my drawings perfectly from the natural environment.'
'One of my favorite specimens is the Banksia, a stunning Australian native flower with many different varieties, colors, and textures.'
— Trudy Rice
