Clay Rice is described by author Pat Conroy as a
“great talent who combines soul and passion.” Silhouette artistry and
storytelling have been in his family for more than 80 years. His grandfather,
Carew Rice, was described by Poet Carl Sandburg as “America’s Greatest
Silhouettist” and traveled worldwide, sharing his mesmerizing cutouts with
delighted customers.

 

Each profile silhouette takes Clay about 1
minute and he estimates that in his 32-year career, he has cut over 900,000
silhouettes. His work has been featured in Country Lining, the Washington
Times, The Atlanta Constitution, Cookie Magazine, and has appeared in the CBS
series Army Wives. Clay is the recipient of the Moonbeam Children’s Book Award
and the IPPY Award for children’s Book of the Year.

Clay’s landscape scenes and children’s
illustrations are sought after by collectors worldwide and his work is on
permanent display at the South Carolina State Museum.
