Rita Huscher has been painting for more than 20 years and is currently the secretary of the South Central Region of T.E.A.M. Her interest in painting started when she was babysitting a grandchild and entertaining her with a paint by numbers kit. This sparked the flame for painting. Rita started going to seminars and workshops, studying with Robert Warren, Bob Byerly, William Alexander, Priscilla Hauser, Brenda Harris, Mary Carole, and many more respected artists. She is a certified instructor for Gary Jenkins, Grumbacher, Winsor & Newton, Bob Ross and William Alexander.

Rita has never stopped learning, even while being a busy mother of 2, grandmother of 5, and great grandmother of 3.

Rita opened her first shop in 1980 in Basehor, Kansas and in 1992 she opened the Art Barn in Bonner Springs, Kansas where she and visiting artists taught. She also sold supplies and provided a gallery for her extensive artwork. The Art Barn sold in 2005.

Rita now teaches weekly classes at The Art Shack in De Soto, KS (still Kansas City area). Classes are in oil and acrylic in landscapes, portraiture and animals. She also teaches monthly workshops in Laurie, MO at the Westside Senior Center, and in Leavenworth, KS at the Council on Aging."

Rita loves everything about art and likes to share anything new with her students. She works with all ages as well as all skill levels. No experience is necessary to produce a beautiful painting in each class by following a step by step method. For the advanced student, Rita offers helpful critiques and individualized instructions that are bound to improve anyone's artwork. Her classes and workshops are not only educational, but they are guaranteed to be friendly and fun!
