Rachel Kice is a multidisciplinary artist who works in painting, writing, and performance. Her path as an artist reflects her belief in the transformative power of creativity to shape the self and reality.

Currently working in the Pike Forest in Colorado, Rachel is inspired by the interplay of emotion, nature, and the assignment of meaning. Her process incorporates natural elements—burying canvases, exposing them to the elements, or integrating found materials. The series began as an exploration of her novel-in-progress, in which she wanted to write a protagonist who painted differently than herself, and so she started a new series of paintings, working on the floor of the forest. As Rachel embodied the protagonist's approach to painting, she found the boundaries between life and fiction blurred, with the protagonist also reflecting her journey. The novel and the art now exist in dialogue, each shaping the other, offering a prismic lens to explore creativity and connection.

In the mid-2000s, Rachel became a key figure in the Nashville artist collective MuzikMafia's "music without prejudice" movement. She gained recognition through hundreds of expressive, live-action painting performances alongside groundbreaking and legendary musical artists. Her paintings are now part of numerous private and public collections, including the Tennessee State Museum, Warner Brothers, Sony, CAA, and Berklee College of Music. Through the years, Rachel has collaborated with diverse organizations, including Emerson University's Center for Contemplative Science and Compassion-Based Ethics, Crocs/Hey Dude, Chevy, Harley Davidson, Hard Rock Cafe, MUSICARES, the TJ Martell Foundation, Clear Channel Outdoor, and TEDx.
