Russ RuBert is the only Missouri sculptor to have ever been awarded the prestigious "Missouri Individual Artist Award," the State's highest honor bestowed upon an artist.
He was presented the award in February 2007 by Governor Matt Blunt along with formal resolutions in his honor presented in the Missouri House and Senate.
An alumnae of the Kansas City Art Institute, RuBert has maintained his 22,000 square-foot sculpture fabrication studio in Springfield since 1999. Using a combination of 3D computer CAD/CAM systems and laser-cutting technology, RuBert is able to construct the monumental works of art that have garnered international recognition.
