Rusty Wahl

Since the age of 12, Rusty Wahl wanted to be a performing artist and a painter. As a teen she ran an arts program for children at summer camp, where painting, acting, music, writing plays and directing became an important part of her life. Her colorful abstracts filled her parents home where guests would often ask to purchase them.

In 1972 while exhibiting at the Winter Park Art Festival, Florida, she envisioned a magazine dedicated to artists in every media that would help them show and sell their creations. For 20 years she was editor and publisher of Sunshine Artist magazine.

Rusty has studied watercolor with Terry Madden the host of a nationally syndicated public television series. Also oil painting with the Bob Ross group of professionals.

She enjoys teaching at area arts and crafts outlets as well as private classes she holds several times a year. Her paintings have been shown at the Maitland Art Center, offices, galleries and theatre space.

Why I do what I do…
“It is the one consistent love in my life that I can rely on, have complete relaxation creating art, and although alone during this process, I am one with the universe.  It is when my brain and hands produce images merging with my inner thoughts that I reach for the stars. I want my art to be accessible to everyone who dreams and dares to be unique.  I have gained a sense of who I am now and where I have been…and matured.  My paintings, graphics and photography have all come together in harmony and I am whole, sharing my Photo Art with you.” – Rusty Wahl, Artist
