Doris B Rice: Watercolor Artist and Instructor

Doris’ studio is the great outdoors. Painting on location is her inspiration, staying in the moment to capture the world around her. It is an exciting challenge!

She is a graduate of Moore College of Art in Philadelphia. Early years were spent there as an illustrator for advertising and publishing. In 1979, relocating from Philly to North Hampton, NH, she changed her focus to plein air painting, travelling to study with various master painters and developing her teaching style to bring others to the joy of creating.

Doris is active with her New Hampshire art connections, Seacoast Artist Association and NHAA. Doris teaches:

Adult classes: Portsmouth, Exeter, NH and Kittery, Me Workshops in many locations across the USA and Europe

Artist in residence projects for schools, and mentoring for degree students.

For information on workshops, classes and paintings, look Doris up on the web: www.dorisrice.com
