Rachel Rush

Rachel Rush, a New Zealand born artist, started painting in the early 1990s, becoming 2009 a full time artist.
Growing from a background in traditional oil landscape painting, the abstract, intense colours of Rachel Rush are the result of years of experimentation.  Rachel Rush uses resin to manipulate and explore the boundaries of colour, taking full advantage of the freedom of mixing colour to challenge expectations and draw the viewer into an intimate relationship with the work.

I love the freedom of mixing up acrylics with resins, there are no hard rules to follow and I love watching each piece take on its own vibrancy and energy.
