Arlene Rice, a beloved figure in the Prince Edward Island art community, was known for her role as a gallery owner and artist. For over 20 years, her gallery, Details Fine Art Gallery, showcased a diverse range of both local and international artists, reflecting her deep passion for art and her commitment to fostering artistic talent. Arlene's artistic journey was greatly supported by the many artists she featured, who provided her with valuable technical and creative insights. Her background in design honed her eye for composition, while the varied landscapes of Prince Edward Island—both rural and urban—offered endless inspiration. Arlene often captured the interplay of light on buildings and streetscapes in her paintings, turning everyday moments into artistic expressions. Though largely self-taught, Arlene enriched her skills through workshops with renowned artists such as Brian Atyeo, Dianna Shyne, Sandi Komst, and Henry Purdy. Her artwork, occasionally whimsical, documented the rhythms of city life and everyday scenes, influenced by the late Elaine Harrison's work. These pieces, depicting scenes from daily life, have become a cherished part of many private collections. Arlene Rice's legacy continues through her contributions to the art world and the enduring presence of her work in private collections. We are honoured to present this auction on behalf of the Estate of Arlene Rice, celebrating her remarkable contributions to the art world. This special event offers not only a diverse array of her fine art, but also a selection of collectibles, furniture, and much more. It is a unique chance to acquire items that embody Arlene's exceptional eye for beauty and her lasting influence on the artistic community. Join us in commemorating her legacy and discovering pieces that reflect her artistic vision and passion. |
