Summary note
Oliva Rush (1873-1966, artist, illustrator, muralist, Native American art educator, and social reformer was born in Indiana to Quaker parents and left home at age sixteen to attend college and art school. At the age of forty-seven, after a successful career as an illustrator and artist and travelling the world, she settled in Santa Fe where she bought an old adobe farmhouse on Canyon Road. There she painted, showed her work, and hosted many visitors from near and far. Rush's painting style over the years evolved from realistic to abstract and by the end of her career she was a modernish. She helped create a technique for "true" fresco painting an dwas hired as a WPA muralist, emparking on a period of public art projects.
