About Diana Rice
Somerville, MA
Capturing personality is the true aim of portraiture, and that is what sets me apart. I love doing portraits of animals! My work is in over 30 collections worldwide. I'm a member of the ARL, MSPCA, and the Portrait Society of America. I want to be the premier animal portraitist of our time. Miss Kitty is my muse. Cats have such beautiful lines and are fascinating to draw. I'm also happy to catsit. www.dianariceart.com
