Bill Russell's iconic paintings merge figurative and abstraction, often containing an empathic narrative about the natural world. He is inspired by jazz, icebergs, florals and the Anthropocene. Bill has shown his work in a variety of settings including Stanford University, SFMoMA Artists Gallery, Marin MoCA, Sofie Contemporary Arts in Calistoga and Reactor Gallery in Toronto, Canada. He's had artist residencies at Recology San Francisco and in 2017 a residency at the Kala Art Institute in Berkeley.
