    Gems of the Earth and Sky

    Born in Barbados, Neil Russell studied and worked in both New York and Iowa before arriving in Southern California. Like many artists he enjoyed a variety of vocations over the years before discovering his singular artistic passion, including hip-hop dancer, salesman, and barber. This variety of life experience coupled with the discipline and grace of a martial artist (Russell is a black belt in multiple disciplines) are reflected in his abstract multimedia creations. Utilizing oils, acrylics, fabric paint, and resin, often in combination on the same piece, Russell creates works that are reminiscent of the recurring fractal patterns found in nature. The various media used are clearly broadly appealing, as…

    Gems of the Earth and Sky

    I create works of art that consistently refine my skill and are inspired by the natural formations of crystals and geodes. I use glass, sand, iridescent acrylic paint, dye and metal leaf to execute the detail closest to the appearance of these natural gems. Arkansas’ state Crystal is the Quartz and I use broken tempered glass found in Eureka Springs from the size of a persons fist down to the size of dust particles in order to mimic the surface of the Quartz. Through this process I feel I bring a piece of The Natural States’ Symbolism into the homes of the NorthWest Arkansas Community. I find it intriguing how…
