DEBORAH RICE IS A WOOD ARTIST IN HUDSON, NY.

A self-taught wood artist, Deborah evolved her craft after many years of making jewelry. Her pieces have been commissioned by museum stores and boutiques from New York to LA. That eye for detail and exquisite handwork informs her woodworking practice, layered with an appreciation for the beauty of reclaimed materials — each with its own history, weathering, and character.

​

Guided by the grain of the hand as much as the grain of the wood, Deborah approaches each piece as a dialogue between material and maker. No two works are alike. Imperfection is not corrected but celebrated. 

​

Her ethos is one of continual exploration — experimenting with form, scale, joinery, and unexpected pairings of materials to develop collections that feel distinctive and deeply personal. Each object is conceived not as product, but as artistry for the home: sculptural, tactile, and meant to be lived with.
