Above all else, Rusty's passion for creating is always tempered with the belief that art and literature is a fluid process and should be celebrated. Her artistic passion is never more evident than when she is helping others—students of all ages—young and old—tap into their own imagination and creativity to communicate through artistic expression.

Both of my daughters have attended art classes with Rusty Harden for many years. I have had the pleasure of watching them develop their artistic talents under her excellent guidance. I appreciate how she doesn’t impose her aesthetic upon her students, but instead encourages them to develop their own viewpoint while teaching them techniques that improve their abilities. I would highly recommend Rusty as an instructor to anyone—youth or adult—as she has a talent for bringing out the best in anyone that she instructs.
