Measures site 7 3/4" by 9 1/2". B. 1977 Gregg Russell was born in California in 1977 and moved to Idaho when he was just an infant. He was raised in a rural farming community and spent much of his youth competing in athletics. During high school, Russell experimented with art but did not pursue it seriously. After high school, he attended Boise State University and earned a degree in Elementary Education. It was during this time, while on a study break in the library, that he discovered the work of Thomas Moran. Inspired by Moran’s ability to paint small studies “en plein air” and later use them to create larger studio works, Gregg began to seek out artist who worked in a similar style. He took workshops with notable artists Robert Moore, Gregory Packard, Tom Browning, and Matt Smith. See less
