This ready to hang, gallery-wrapped art piece features a watercolor painting of pink, red, and purple flowers.Kristy Rice wears many hats: entrepreneur, mama, celebrity invitation designer, stylist, but her first love is watercolor painting. She began her art career humbly: hiding under the covers with a flashlight as a 6 year old girl who just wanted to make art, literally day and night. It was clear from the start that Kristy would make her mark on the world with a paintbrush. Kristy's watercolor flowers, bold patterns and expressive landscapes combine a certain textural realism with a distinctive juicy boldness that epitomize her love affair with watercolor and mixed media painting. Kristy's work, like her personality, is at times difficult to pin down. Her brushstrokes can ebb and flow from highly detailed and meticulous to free-flowing and boundless, all the while remaining captivating and unmistakable. For the last 14 years, Kristy's obsession with paint and paper has evolved into the innovative brand, Momental Designs. Kristy has transformed event stationery into a persuasive and compelling medium that garners global attention from media, celebrities and some of the world?s most creative individuals.
