Born in 1961, Cecil Rice has lived in Brighton since 1974 and studied painting at Brighton
          College of Art. Cecil is well known for his evocative paintings of shoreline subjects and
          architecture. He has a passion for Italy, especially Venice, and travel has been an important
          inspiration behind much of his painting to date. Cecil's work is sought after by
          corporate and international clients. Limited edition screen prints of his work can be found in
          London and New York galleries. His work is exhibited regularly in galleries in London and the South
          East of England, in mixed exhibitions and one-man shows.
