SARAH RICE

In early 2022, Rice sold her first ocean scape piece of artwork for $26,000 to a steel billionaire art collector that he added to his collection in Oregon, setting the bar high for her future creations. Rice’s audience is made up of people who see the lessons in life’s challenges and attract abundance through their gratitude. As demand for her work grows, so does the value of each piece. Rice’s unique style and message have quickly made her one to watch in the art world.

Rice was raised on the Big Island of Hawaii, where she had the rare and incredible experience of being surrounded by several Asian cultures that are prominent on the islands.

Japanese culture has one of the strongest presences on the island and is incorporated through Hawaiian culture in almost every aspect of life, which is how she came to have such a strong love, admiration, and respect for the organization, order, and simplicity of the culture that she incorporates into all of her work.

As a child growing up on the islands, the mindset of positivity and optimism thrived, making a grateful and positive mindset a priority for Sarah to build upon and share.

Being raised in one of the most beautiful places in the world pushed Sarah to see true beauty in all things, she describes her childhood as one that gave her the gift of seeing gratitude. 

Sarah’s artistic style is Japanese and Hawaiian inspired, intending to create her pieces by expressing through pen and paper the expression of gratitude.

While art is her calling, one of Sarah’s ambitions is to spread and bring gratitude to as many as possible. Through this expression of art, each piece is drawn to portray a reminder of practicing and incorporating the true feeling of gratitude in life. Through gratitude, happiness is created, difficult situations become lessons, and life becomes more beautiful.

Sarah’s audience are those who themselves see the positive and optimistic people, who see lessons in even the worst situations and attract abundance in all forms through their gratitude toward life.
