Rachel Rush

Rachel Rush, a versatile artist based in Auckland, has been immersed in the world of painting and drawing since her earliest memories. Rush's affinity for working with resin stems from its unique properties, despite its challenging nature. She finds allure in the medium's capacity to produce depth of colour and shadow, allowing her to explore themes of colour and movement that captivate her imagination.

Each resin piece is a labor of love, requiring meticulous attention over several weeks as layers slowly accumulate to create intricate compositions bursting with vibrancy. Inspired by her own passions and preferences, Rush's creations reflect her ambition and commitment to pushing the boundaries of her creativity.

Her artistic journey began with meticulous recreations of illustrations from beloved books, sparking a lifelong passion for creative expression. Transitioning from her early endeavors, Rush's career path led her to Kozmik Design, where she honed her skills hand-painting vibrant fluro clothing—an experience she cherished despite its brevity.

While her professional life later took a detour into a family business unrelated to art, Rush remained dedicated to her craft, devoting her spare time to painting. Initially focusing on landscapes in oil, she embarked on a journey of self-discovery that eventually led her to develop her signature styles: RUSH graffiti and abstract contemporary resin works.

With an eye toward the future, Rush sets her sights on international opportunities, driven by a desire to share her art with a global audience. She approaches each piece with dedication, mindful of her clients' investment and committed to delivering works that exceed expectations.

As viewers delve into her creations, Rush hopes they'll discover the same magic and joy that she experiences in bringing each piece to life—a testament to her unwavering passion for the art she creates.
