MEET THE ARTIST
Chris Rust is a native of Northern Kentucky. He grew up in Camp Springs where he attended Saint Joseph Grade School and later Campbell County High School. He attended Northern Kentucky University, University of Cincinnati, and Gateway Community College. Chris is married to Stacey Sprague-Rust, and they have three boys: Chay, Connor, and Curtis. They currently reside in Fort Thomas.
Chris has always been creative and has worked in many media, including painting and drawing. Chris began carving when his mother asked him to carve a bear for her. He took a break from carving for a few years.
Chris starting carving again while building trails in Fort Thomas’ Highland Hills Park in 2015. Chris helped expand the trails only to discover that a number of large dead ash trees had to be removed for safety. The remaining stumps became the canvas for the occasional carving. Those carvings still adorn the trails. As the number of carvings grew, so did the interest from people who wanted carvings of their own. At that point the hobby became a business, and CR Carving was born in 2020.
