My name is Greg Rush, and my I am one of the artists at the NoCo Art Center.  The name of my studio is River Ghost Art.Art has been a part of my life since I was a child.  It started with me creating and drawing my own comic book characters in elementary school.  My horizons expanded with art classes in school where I worked with a variety of mediums.  Life put a hiatus on my art when after college I worked in counseling eventually earning my LCSW.  When my father retired, he started his new hobby as a woodworker, and working with him brought me back into art.  I started do art professionally part-time while living in Oregon.  Now doing woodworking and combining the skills I learned from my father with my own personal twists and vision.  After moving to Jeffersonville nine years ago, I decided to retire from counseling and pursue art full-time.

The purpose of River Ghost Art is to highlight and accentuate the natural appearance and shape of wood and allow the beauty and artistry of the wood express itself.  Live-edged slab wood, driftwood, and re-purposed furniture – all sourced from local rivers and wood cutters – are worked to create artistic sculptures, wall art, furniture and functional pieces.  Other elements such as stone, metal, bone and glass are incorporated to give the art diverse textural and visual aspects, add meaning, and maintain a natural feel.  You can find me on Facebook and Instagram at River Ghost Art.

Art to me is about seeing the world in a certain way and being able to express that love through color and texture with the subject you are painting. I’ve always get you never really truly see something unless you’ve drawn or painted it. My goal is to lose myself in a painting and find myself at the end with Art my entire heart is wrapped up in.
