Madjo Rice
MEDIUM /// PAINTING, ILLUSTRATION, COLLAGE, BLOCK PRINTING
Madjo Rice is a local illustrator and painter out of Tampa, FL. After graduating in the class of 2022 at SUNY Geneseo, she did a year of AmeriCorps in Rochester and continued to work in Geneseo where she later became the Gallery Manager at the Gallery in the Valley. Her work is highly personal and usually sprouts from her artistic process of writing letters she has no intention of sending. This self-care practice helps her work through tough emotions and inspires many of the visuals in her illustrations and paintings. While her art is highly personal, Madjo’s professional life is focused around finding and organizing community through creative expression. With a local art scene as rich as the Genesee Valley, Madjo hopes to provide a space for community, creativity, and collaboration.
