Ethan Aaron Rice
Born in Greenfield, MA on the fifth of May 1982, Ethan Aaron Rice has been indulging his creative and artistic tendencies since childhood, fostered from life in both rural western Massachusetts and the jungles of suburban New Jersey. What began as constant childhood doodles evolved into him learning more about the principles of art, which in turn helped Ethan begin developing his own artistic line.
Ethan graduated from Northfield Mount Hermon in 2001, while in attendance at NMH his studies in art led him to apply and then attend the University of Vermont. It was there that Ethan completed his B.A. in Studio Art with minors in both Art History and English in 2006. During his undergraduate years at UVM Ethan studied abroad in Cortona, Italy at the Lamar Dodd School of Art, University of Georgia where he was introduced to intaglio printmaking. He went abroad for a second time to Athens and Samos, Greece through Castleton College.
It was Ethan’s interests in printmaking that confirmed his desires to return to Italy and further his education in art. He concluded a professional printmaking degree at Il Bisonte in Florence, Italy. Where he graduated at the head of the class in December of 2007. In 2008 Ethan was shown in various countries ranging from Spain, Bulgaria, England, France and the United States of America. Ethan became a member of the Deerfield Valley Art Association (DVAA) in the fall of 2008 and continues to show with the group in exhibitions in western Massachusetts.
Last year Ethan had his first solo show in July at the Deerfield Gallery in South Deerfield, MA. He was awarded with an honorable mention in a juried show at New Hampshire Institute of Art’s Printmaking – Impressions Exhibition in Manchester, NH this past year. In 2009 Ethan’s works were shown in Spain, Bulgaria, Canada, Hungry, and the United States.
Presently, Ethan is living in Tustin, California and pursuing his passions of art and looking forward to the future.
