Duke Russell Alaskan artist- Art Shop online, original art prints Anchorage
My Inspiration
Having grown up in Alaska myself, I am inspired by multigenerational families as well as people who have fallen in love with the state and decided to make it their home. Keeping the history of Alaska alive is important to me by telling my own stories as well as stories of others who are no longer here to share theirs. To this day I am motivated to share the beauty of this state and educate anyone on the exciting past that others have lived.
My Background
As far back as seven years old, I took myself pretty seriously as an artist. I liked building model cars and being by myself making things. I learned most of what I know now from working in the film and theater industry throughout my career. Sell original art, and Original art prints I have since settled down in Spenard, Anchorage where I work from my backyard studio painting landscapes, building sculptures, and illustrating my latest comic book based on my childhood. I spend my free time making music and gardening with my lovely wife.
