W. Randy Rice: On View

W. Randy Rice wanted to move to Pittsburgh when he first visited a friend at CMU in 1983. In 2012, he moved from the rustic wilds of Clarion, PA to a home in Point Breeze. The shapes and colors of the city inspired him as he explored it and inspired him to do the work on display.

In 2014, he joined his life-partner, Denise, and their best dog, Cooper (Coopah), in establishing their home in Wilkinsburg. In addition to his unique takes on the city, he enjoys creating imagery from things as mundane as random items on the desk of his home office to the flowers that he and Denise enjoy in their gardens and the regular fires they build on weekend evenings.

Randy is a proud ambassador of Wilkinsburg. What it has been. And what it is becoming.
