Bobbie Bush

Art has been my lifelong passion. From an early age, I was fascinated by all forms of arts and crafts, engaging with a variety of mediums. During my high school years, my interest particularly gravitated towards photography, where the camera and darkroom became my primary outlets for expression. However, my exploration didn’t stop there; I delved into alternative printmaking processes, and I enjoyed adding hand-applied touches, such as markings, drawings, and pastels, to enhance an image.

In recent years, my artistic journey has led me to explore beyond the confines of digitally-captured images, venturing into the sphere of fine art. My toolkit encompasses both contemporary and traditional elements, creating a bridge between digital artistry and classical fine art techniques.

My work, both personal and professional, represents a fusion of media—a mixed media hybrid painting approach that incorporates electronic brushes and a digital tablet alongside traditional artist’s oils and glazes, meticulously applied with a brush and palette knife.

With more than 25 years of experience as a professional portrait artist, I have transitioned from photographic portraiture to painted commissions. My focus is on crafting unique, custom hand-painted portraits of individuals, children, and pets, each piece a testament to the blend of tradition and innovation that defines my artistic practice. Commissions welcome.
