Rusty Haydon lives and works in a small cabin in the Okanogan Highlands, near Chesaw.  Her works are in private collections up and down the West Coast and in Hawaii, Alaska, England, Canada and Japan.

"In painting, drawing and taking photographs I try to create keepsakes, a bit of beauty or mystery; a scene from the world worth visiting again and again.  I hope my artwork is peaceful and inviting, a nudge toward joy."
