Donnie Rice

Hi, my name is Donnie Rice, and I am an illustrator residing in KC. 

My artistic journey is an exploration of vibrant colors, shapes, and characters that resonate with the boundless curiosity of children. I practice in a wide mix of media where I am able to create these visuals, often looking to that softer side of myself for the best work. I plan to keep experimenting with digital artwork and hope to bring my love of texture and collage into it. 

 I strive to use a visual language that sparks imagination, inviting all to embark on my story’s adventures alongside the characters I make. Through my illustrations, I aspire to ignite a love for reading and creativity in children's hearts. I want to empower them to dream, learn, and grow. I believe that the magic of storytelling creates the belief that the bridge to the heart and mind of a child is powerful.
