about
I’m Carol Rice, a Chicago creative by way of New Orleans, with roots from the Gulf Coast. To me, beauty and design are essential elements to elevating life experience. When we surround ourselves with beauty, we are automatically uplifted…from our perceptions and experiences to our emotions and memories, design is a medium of happiness and joy, and my goal is to bring this to the world.
For as long as I can remember, I knew that creativity wouldn’t just be a hobby, but a way of life. After 15 years as an award winning art director in the advertising industry, I founded Nieva Art & Design as a way to share my personal expression in timeless art and branding. From the subtlety of a feather to the grandness of our greatest architecture, beauty can be found wherever we look. It is the combination of simplicity and detail, softness and edge, nostalgic and modern that shapes my art. From the serene to the unexpected, I strive to bring awareness to the impact and power of beauty and design in our lives.
Why Nieva? My middle name is a nod to my Filipino heritage. Simple, lovely and distinctive - it is the core of what my work represents.
