Star Rush has been of great assistance as a mentor for my work with art nonprofits, particularly with goal-setting and transitions. She offers honest, open-hearted guidance and feedback. Her work displays excellence, bravery, and compassion. *Judith Rayl, Self-Employed Artist and Curator

I hate having my portrait taken, but Star knows the tips and tricks to get me to relax and pose to get a great photo instead a shot of a propped up corpse with an awkward grin on its face. Use Star for your portrait sessions early and often. *Jeremy Hurd-McKenney, Gallery Director at Kirkland Arts Center

Star recorded some video content for a class I was to teach and caught a spontaneous still photo of me (in amazing lighting!) that I have used as a professional head shot many times since. Go for it! She doesn't disappoint! You will be heard and well supported in your endeavors. *Paige St-Pierre Apparel LLC, Artist & Educator

Star Rush taught me the ins and outs of working in arts and education administration. She is an expert in balancing the needs of an organization with the needs of staff and constituents. I continue to turn to her for advice! *Analisa Soverns-Reed, Lake Washington Technical College

I know Star Rush to be a serious, committed, and knowledgeable professional who is exacting in every detail of what she does whether it's writing, art, or photography. Highly recommended! *Chuck Finnegan, Retired Educator

Star is collaborative, has a clear vision and knows/shares pathways for success *S.E. Penney, Artist

Star is a multi-talented content curator and strategist. Her long history as a writer and a teacher of writing, photographer and exhibitor of photographs, and an administrator of educational and community organizations makes her an ideal story telling partner to help you launch your individual, programmatic, organizational, and business endeavors. I first witnessed Star’s creative facility for distilling and communicating information thirty years ago when she assisted me with administering a university writing program. She showed me how content alone, no matter how smart or scholarly, was not sufficient to fully engage my audience of new teachers so they could understand what they were doing and why they were doing it. Working with Star forever changed the way that I approached my teaching. In two words, her influence has been transformative and long lasting. *Donna Qualley, Professor of English Emeritus, Western Washington University

Star stepped up to be our interim Executive Director at Kirkland Arts Center during a very difficult transition period. We quickly formed a deep trusted relationship as we tackled the very real problems facing the organization. Through her principled leadership and methodical problem-solving we were able to dig ourselves out of the hole we were in and instill a sense of structure, equity and forward momentum at KAC. *Chris Lye, Board President, Kirkland Arts Center

Star is easy to work with and will help you evolve your first idea into a finished project. She has the ability to dig deeper and see things you haven't thought about. She’s a professional artist. *Eva Norling, Professor at Bellevue College

Star and I collaborated on a number of successful grant proposals. She understands both the technical and creative aspects of grant development and is a joy to work with! Top notch strategic thinking, excellent writer! *Bonnie Berry, former Director of Grants, Bellevue College
