Russell Jackson

Russell was born in 1947 in Auckland and he studied art history and graphic design at the University of Auckland and the Auckland Institute of Technology. His paintings reflect his love of bird life and New Zealand’s landscape, in particular its coastal environment. Russell tends to paint in enamels or acrylics on board and he has recently begun to explore more abstract concepts to broaden his repertoire that includes his better-known realist style.
