Kylie Rusk

Originally from Hukerenui, a small country settlement north of Whangarei and now living in the seaside town of Muriwai, Kylie Rusk feels a strong connection with the land and sea. She travels along New Zealand’s shorelines, documenting scenes which she then reproduces in lithographic print and paint the studio. Her works are imbued with a sense of quiet isolation and capture the untamed grandeur of New Zealand’s scenery. 

Rusk graduated with a conjoint Bachelor of Fine Arts and Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Auckland in 2005 and has since worked simultaneously as an artist and a geographical surveyor. She has exhibited her paintings and stone lithographs throughout New Zealand since 2005.
