LaRaye Rushing is a Lincoln City graphic artist and printmaker inspired by her home on the Oregon Coast. She has a BBA in Accounting from Angelo State University and a BS in Digital Arts and Design from Full Sail University. After a successful career as a graphic designer for several nonprofits, she transitioned to an active printmaking practice in 2020. Working out of her home studio, she has shown her work in local galleries and participated in many local art markets. Her practice consists of botanical cyanotypes and monoprints using plants foraged locally. She loves all elements of printmaking and experimenting with each medium including using her own handmade paper for monoprinting.

My Studio
❤ My Dogs ❤
Pete
This is Pete. He graced us with his bright light for 17 years. In his heyday, he was great at ball catching and chicken tosses (his favorite toy friend). He loved being a retired gentlemen and teaching Crispin how to be a dog. ❤
Crispin Nugget
Crispin is an 10 year old super mutt. According to his DNA test, he is part Chihuahua, Shih Tzu, and Poodle. He was rescued from the mean streets of Austin, Texas when he showed up on my front porch and decided to stay. He loves to snuggle and learned how to be a real dog from big brother Pete.
