ABOUT THE ARTIST

Rusty Phillips
Liberty Hill, TX
Rusty Phillips is a native of Texas Hill Country, with ranching roots dating back to the Republic of Texas. Growing up with stories of the Great Depression and the 1950s drought, his heart dug roots deep in that hard Texas ground, always hoping for rain in the forecast, diesel in the tank, and a good stand of grama grass. After college, he left home with clothes, some basic tack, and a whole lot of try. Before he returned to Texas for good, he’d worked on cow outfits from Arizona to Montana. And poetry, and horses, had captured his heart.
