Judy Rush

Owner, Rush Wade2

Digital artist Judy Rush pioneered transparency retouching techniques in the Midwest during the 1970s and later spearheaded national trends by transferring to digital process in 1988. Throughout the 1990s, Rush established a formidable reputation in the photography and advertising world for her digital imaging skills.

Rush joined with two innovative photographers, brothers Lindsey and Lyndon Wade, to develop a full-service photography and digital imaging studio in 1999. Merging experience, vigor and fresh ideas, the newly formed RushWade2 planted roots in a 15,000 square foot space in Kansas City's Crossroads Arts District.
