Rus was raised in Montreal, Canada. Trained and educated as an artist by master artist Haim Sherrf, she went on to develop her own style and has now become a distinguished teacher to her own students in oils and acrylics. Rus’ personal style comes through in each of her own paintings with much strength, balance, and harmony. Deeply spiritual, Rus blends her Chassidic based spirituality with her intense search for knowledge to give meaning to her compositions. Her vibrant pallet and mystical contemplation explore the world of prayer, Jewish living , and the historical and spiritual world of Israel. Rus’ paintings have placed her as one of the upcoming, important artists in Judaic art.
