As the only visual artist associated with the MuzikMafia, the Nashville-based avant-garde artists’ collaborative that yielded Multi-Platinum recording artists Big & Rich and Gretchen Wilson, Rachel Kice is on the rise as a true American “Art Star.”

As a self-described, “painter of fine muzik,” Kice joins some of the country’s biggest stars and brand names as she rhythmically applies paint to spinning canvases, adding line, shape, form, texture and color to reflect the physical environment and mood of the muzikal event in which she is participating. Although the fruits of Rachel’s performances yield a product—a finished painting, her literal act of painting liberates her from the objects she creates and affords her the freedom to “exhibit” everywhere from concert stages to museum galleries.

No matter the venue or circumstance, Rachel engages and connects with her audience. Performing as a part of the recently completed American Revolution stadium tour, which featured her MuzikMafia counterparts, Rachel painted on stage before thousands of eager concertgoers. Her reach and appeal has been fortified in televised performances, such as the Radio muzik Awards, and in her new role, playing herself on CMT’s adventurous original reality series, MuzikMafia TV.

Rachel’s paintings are found in private collections worldwide, including those of Bob Dole, Tim McGraw, Kid Rock, King Albert of Monaco and Willie Nelson.
