Nancy Mona Russell

Nancy Mona Russell is a contemporary abstract painter. She completed her studies in fine art painting in 1967. In the nearly six decades since, she has continued to focus on colorful, impressionistic abstraction, experimenting with scale while holding to her joyous palette. Her acrylic paintings begin with a charcoal drawing on a gessoed surface. Sometimes that drawing is a road map, other times it is only a departure point. The surface, colors, and shapes take on a life of their own, a distillation of the experience of creating.
