Cyd Rust is an award winning Painter and Sculptor whose works have been shown in numerous juried exhibitions across the United States, including the AANC National Show, the Palm Springs Desert Museum, and the prestigious North American Sculpture Exhibition; as well as being held in private collections worldwide.

Born in Scottsbluff, Nebraska, into a multi-generational family of artists, art was always a part of Cyd's life. A move to Loveland Colorado brought home the dream of a lifetime by allowing Cyd the opportunity to complete literally thousands of hours of study at the Loveland Academy of Fine Arts in multiple areas of artistic endeavors including everything from human anatomy, to drawing, to painting and sculpture, all under the tutelage of some of the top modern day masters in the world. Cyd has most recently studied under Stephen Quiller and Arleta Pech.

Cyd Rust currently resides near Loveland CO, living in the foothills where wildlife and natural views continually feed the artist's soul.

"The principal vision of my art is to invigorate the fleeting beauty of nature's miracles, through the use of dynamic shapes and vibrant colors. It is my goal to constantly stretch, to show the familiar in a new and different light."...Cyd Rust
