| Rusha Moon (b. 2001, Seattle, WA) is an American visual artist and basketball player working across multiple disciplines. Based in Brooklyn, NY, and Seattle, WA, her work in the studio, as well as out of it--where she works to create alternatives to incarceration--is guided by relentless inquisitiveness. Her diverse body of work includes a range of 2D and 3D media that aims to ask questions of her viewers, not provide answers. With a passion for collaborative projects, she is able to reciprocatively create by learning from those around her. Rusha has a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA). She has exhibited in Brooklyn, NY, Philadelphia, PA, Chicago, IL, and Baltimore, MD; has public murals on display in Albuquerque, NM, Seattle, WA, and Baltimore, MD; and is working on her fourth book as the director of Rusha Moon Press.
