Currently still involved in the art field relief teaching and working in 8SPACE a shared studio space in Mt Eden.

"I call myself an Art maker as I move between drawing, paint, mixed media, relief and sculpture making disciplines.

I believe in the real and imagined narrative in art making and the phenomenology, lived experience of place and personal observations. This generates initial ideas and dictates my problem-solving process. First the idea/concept, then drawing, writing, photography, digital processes, to making."

Russ continues to exhibit locally with solo and numberous group shows.
