I’m Suzanna Z Russell — a contemporary folk artist working at the intersection of painting, mixed media, and creative writing.

My art and writing live in a constant dialogue: stories become paintings, and paintings find their way into poems and prose. At the center of it all is a deep love for nature and the human experience — I’m endlessly drawn to the places where the wild and the domestic meet, and to the reminder that we are all deeply rooted in the natural world.

I invite you to explore my YouTube Story to Art Gallery channel, where I present themed art exhibitions and share the thinking behind each piece.

Sign up for my Gallery newsletter for upcoming show announcements. Original works from each show are available for purchase in my eBay store.

So glad you stopped by.
