Heather Simmons, Vice President of Marketing and Education for Rusk, just broke the news that Irvine and Louise Rusk, the founders of Rusk, are rejoining the Rusk team.

I had a chance to chat with Irvine today who said “I am looking forward to working with the talented artists at RUSK.  It will be a great opportunity to train the team twice each year at my soon to be opened Academy in Boston.” The Irvine Rusk Academy, which will offer both basic and advanced education, is scheduled to open by the end of 2012. “It will be wonderful to spend time with the Rusk Creative artists…many hand picked by me years ago!”

In this video, Heather gets thoughts from the several of the members of the Rusk Creative Team: Don Wyatt, Tim Riggins, Julie Merritt, Naz Kupelian, Maria Guasta, Gerard Caruso and Jim Roberts.
