Monique Rush
Acrylic Painting & Garden Art
LOCATION:

Inspiration is never a problem for me, infact I have more ideas than time!
I specialize in acrylic realistic birds, animals, classic cars and nature.
Kiwiana and undersea life, Maori and Pacific themes, NZ flora and fauna often appear in my works.
I create modern and contemporary landscape designs combining a balance of nature's elements and mixed media.
I am always keen to learn and explore new mediums and styles to combine and evolve my artworks.
Over the last 2 years, I have enjoyed the abstract flow art process, which has proved to be a successful merge with my other styles.
I am also a passionate gardener and love making garden art using glass, tile and ceramic, mixed metals, and wood. As well as mosaic projects I dabble with pottery and glazing, whenever I get a chance to
use a kiln.
During the year I regularly teach weekly Drawing and painting classes for adults. This is not only rewarding for my students but for me too. As I observe them improving and gaining new skills and confidence.
I am an over achiever, creator and nature lover and I wouldn't want to live any other way!
