Biography

Rushton paints original abstract art with fire and passion. His works depict strong emotion, depth and an explosion of color, and are featured in collections throughout the United States.

Influenced by the artistry of the abstract expressionists, Rushton’s pallet knife makes broad statements in walls of excitement. In his home studio, Rushton captures the hues of nature and mixes them with the mystery of the abstract world. Staring into a Rushton original, one can spend hours escaping into a world unlike any other.

Each piece is inspired by and dedicated to select pieces of music, from every musical genre and movement.

Rushton’s work has been featured regularly in the shows at AFAS, including Shine, Unbound and Unleashed and 2018’s solo exhibit Rushton:Abstractification.

Rushton is especially known for his commissioned pieces, which incorporate the individual patrons color and musical selections, making for a truly personal and original work of art, created especially for your home or office.
