| Connie Helen Rice (formerly Newman) was born in Washington, DC in 1970 and raised in Annapolis, Maryland. She married in 2002 and soon after relocated with her husband to Palm Coast, Florida where they are raising two boys and two cats. She comes from a family of gifted female artists including her mother, sisters, paternal grandmother, aunt, niece, and cousins including the 1940's era artist Artemesia Drefs. She obtained her Bachelor of Science in Art Education degree from the University of Maryland in 1993. She has displayed and sold her art in several venues including four solo shows in Annapolis. Her paintings hang in collections in New York, California, and Hawaii among other locations. In April 2005 her art was featured on the cover of Skirt! magazine. She is currently a member of the Flagler County Art League. | |

Most of her work features oil and acrylic paintings on canvas of various sizes and expresses the artist's colorful and provocative style. Her subject matter ranges from allegorical female nudes to abstract representations of nature. Of her erotic art, Rice states, "I'm certainly drawn to the way women are represented as objects, because it's so obviously part of our everyday media overload, but I also like to realize the female archetype in my work…the unexpected relationship between the Virgin Mary and the Playboy Centerfold." Rice cites Gustav Klimt, Sandro Botticelli, Tamara de Lempicka, Egon Schiele, Georgia O'Keeffe, Man Ray, Willam Bouguereau, R. Crumb, Alphonse Mucha, H.R. Giger, Leah Bell, and Moe Hanson as among her favorite artists and will not deny any brainwashing she received from reading fashion magazines and playing with Barbies.
