ABOUT THE ARTIST

John A. Rice is an award-winning actor, writer, and artist specializing in oil pastels. As one of the few artists working in this medium, his work has sold in more than 35 countries worldwide. He runs his art shop, J.A.R. Studio, NYC, out of his workspace in Astoria, NY.

 

A skilled Tarot reader, John drew upon this background to create the popular Mindscapes Tarot deck, featuring his signature landscape style. This deck is forthcoming from Hay House/Penguin Random House. Additionally, his hauntingly beautiful illustrated edition of A Christmas Carol is now available as a collectible edition from Abbeville Press. His unique immersive exhibit Beyond Words, created in collaboration with psychic mediums from historic Lily Dale, is currently exhibiting.

 

It is John's mission...

 

To help people rediscover their own mystique and see themselves as the hero of their own story.

 

To foster healing, introspection, and creativity through otherworldly art — empowering the internal world so that we can enrich our outer world.
