William J Rushton

William J. Rushton, a native of Birmingham, Alabama, earned his B.A. in psychology at Colorado College. He then trained for five years at Charles H. Cecil Studios in Florence, Italy, learning the sight-size method of drawing and painting and, in his last two years, serving as an assistant instructor to first-, second-, and third-year students. To deepen his understanding of the human form, he began studying sculpture which now makes up half of his career. William now lives in New York City and is available for commissioned portraits as well as custom sculpture projects.
