Ha studiato disegno e pittura alla Scuola d'arte del Politecnico di Regent Street e si è poi specializzato alla Scuola centrale delle Arti e dei Mestieri di Londra e all'Accademia Nazionale d'Arte di New York. Per due anni ha lavorato come artista all'"Architectural Forum". la sua prima mostra è stata nel 1965 presso l'Accademia Reale. Da allora ha lavorato in Europa, Nord e Sud America, India, Grecia, Nord Africa e in Oriente. Nel 1968 ha trascorso un anno come artista alla scuola Woodberry Forest, in Virginia, negli Stati Uniti. E' conosciuto in tutto il mondo per le sue pitture murali e sul soffitto che si trovano in abitazioni in Gran Bretagna, Europa a America; la più spettacolare, "La Tentazione" alla Ragley Hall, nel Warwickshire, ha richiesta una decina d'anni per essere completata. I suoi disegni e acquerelli sono stati usati come illustrazioni in vari libri; in particolare il maggiore successo l'ha ottenuto "Il giardino segreto" ("The Secret Garden"), nel 1986. Nel 1988 la sua collezione di disegni per opere murali è stata pubblicata ne "La casa dipinta" ("The painted house", ora stampato in quattro lingue. Rust, che ha all'attivo 21 mostre, incluse quattro in aiuto della Società Reale del Commonwealth per i ciechi, vive e lavora nel Suffolk. Attualmente sta lavorando ad un libro sulle sue pitture a tema botanico.
