About THE ARTIST
 

Rusty Suede (He/Him) is a native Bostonian watercolor painter, as well as award-winning tattoo artist and owner of Brilliance Tattoo in Boston, MA, which was awarded the honor of "Boston's Best Tattoo Studio" its opening year. After 18 years of tattooing with painting as a hobby (and a long term repetitive stress injury forcing a step back from tattooing), Rusty has taken his love of florals from his tattooing work, as well as years of anatomy and figure study as a body artist, to a full time practice of still life and figure painting.

Rusty also works as a vintage-inspired and award-winning drag performer and theatre producer, under the stage name Rusty Hammer. You can follow Rusty’s performance art at Instagram.com/rustyhammerdrag and use the contact form for bookings.
