about
William rushing
1936-2009

A native of California, William Rushing grew up in the Eastern High Sierra Mountains, living and working on a cattle ranch. There, he developed an appreciation for the lifestyle, the land with its changing scenery, and the vistas of the high country.

​

William Rushing worked in opaque watercolor and oil. He approached his subject matter with the love born of a long, close association with the land. His unquenchable desire to paint "true-to-nature"  developed a technique that was demanding and dictates intense study of his subject. He strived to develop an appealing atmosphere in which the viewer was invited to become an active participant.

​

As a true, unique artist, William Rushing preferred bold color and contrast that created dimension and brilliance in his work.
