Nationally Acclaimed Silhouette Artist Clay Rice Coming to Sunny Meadow Boutique — Limited Spots Remain!

May 19, 2025

A rare artistic experience is coming to Laurens County.

Sunny Meadow Boutique on the square in Laurens will welcome Clay Rice, internationally celebrated silhouette artist and children’s author, for a special in-store event on Thursday, May 30. Known for his remarkable speed and breathtaking precision, Clay creates heirloom-quality silhouette portraits in just minutes — and appointments are filling fast.

This is a major opportunity for local families to experience a unique art form that has captured hearts across the country. Clay’s events regularly sell out in larger cities, and bringing him to Laurens County is a standout moment for the boutique and the community.

A third-generation artist, Clay continues a family legacy of silhouette cutting that began with his grandfather, the legendary Carew Rice. Over the course of his career, Clay has cut more than 1 million silhouettes, earning acclaim for his “poetry in black and white” style. He’s also a beloved children’s book author, known for titles such as The Lonely Shadow and The Stick.
