Danielle E. Rush

"I feel the need to create everyday - artwork, a new recipe, or simply writing in my journal.  As a child, I enjoyed trips to the arts and craft store in Fredericksburg, Virginia. I was encouraged by my mother who bought paint, an easel, and canvas. A love of art lead to a bachelor’s degree in Art History.  As an illustrator and painter, I showcase watercolor, acrylic, oil, and mixed media art. 

I spent seven years teaching art at a private school, kindergarten through high school.  In Virginia, I owned an art studio with my daughter.  We offered art supplies, showed artwork, and taught art lessons.  I paint Nature, the food I love to eat, and whimsical and abstract ideas.  My goal is to wake up and do whatever I want!  

I am a Yoga Teacher, a Chef, and a published Author.  I have an MA in Artistic Meditation and see the healing nature of the creative process. I hosts art and yoga retreats in the United States and around the world, Costa Rica, Italy, and Greece are coming soon. I am married and have a blended family with four children, three grandchildren, and the best dog ever."
