About the Item

still life from Santa Fe artist Rush Cole BIO Rush Cole grew up loving the richness of Life! As she matured, she expressed her delight at being in this world by drawing and painting, teaching herself to use all manner of materials. Barely twelve when she made her first art sale, by the end of eighth grade she was named "Most Promising Art Student" out of hundreds of fellow classmates! After entering high school, her art teachers and the school principal began purchasing her work, while her classmates commissioned her to create portraits of their boyfriends and girlfriends. Her friends' parents also purchased her drawings and paintings. Years later, in 1982, Cole won a statewide competition in Texas to paint a definitive mural for the City of Corpus Christi, depicting the history, culture, and/or environment of the community. Following intense research and travel around the area, sketching and photographing, Rush chose to combine all three categories by composing a visual montage that reads from left to right: earliest history to the present day: covering more than five hundred years. The completed mural measures 8 feet high by 20 feet wide and is on permanent exhibit in the American Bank Center as part of Corpus Christi's public art collection. Thus began her penchant for composing historical portraits of entire cities! To date, Cole has spent decades working as a fine artist. By simply setting her hand to the joyous task of using her creative abilities, she ended up providing herself a classical art education; reading and researching the great artists from the past, and then honing her hard-fought-for drawing and painting skills. Evidently, she did an okay job, since she was duly invited to teach accredited courses in drawing and watercolor painting for the University of Alaska! Cole has won numerous awards in juried national and international art competitions; including Best Of Show in the National Watercolor Society, one of the highest, most prestigious awards available to watercolor artists in America. Her artwork is part of many private, corporate, and museum collections in the United States and abroad. Cole is also an accomplished portrait artist; commissioned to paint many, many humans and animals for both private and corporate patrons. In 1996, Rush moved from the Midwest to the American Southwest, the home her heart called her to, and has steadily allowed the new environment to influence her creative visions. Subsequent years spent horseback, riding through wilderness areas in New Mexico and Arizona, in addition to occasionally helping work cattle on sprawling ranches, has provided grounded experiences she draws on for her paintings of western life. Cole was also selected as the official Rodeo De Santa Fe artist in 2014 and 2015, allowing her close-up and personal access to every aspect of an annual professional PRCA rodeo event. Widening the scope of her creativity to include the literary arts in 2020, Cole has also been applauded for her writing. As an indie author and publisher, both her first memoir, "DREAM OF THE BUTTERFLY", followed by a volume of artwork, "ART OF THE JOURNEY", an illustrated retrospective collection spanning twenty-one years, have been enthusiastically received and lauded by readers and art lovers alike. Cole's maiden work of fiction, "THE BOMBSHELL RIDES AGAIN", a mystery tale, was published in summer, 2022, and has also received enthusiastically positive reviews. Just for fun, Rush Cole worked as a background actor on the hit mystery series, "LONGMIRE" for all six years that the television show aired!
