Matthew Jay Russell

Born in a rural farm town in upstate NY, Russell’s sense of creativity and appreciation of nature stems from early childhood. He spends much of his time traveling between the New England coast and Adirondack region, hiking, photographing, and continuously finding new inspiration for landscape work.

Russell’s works have been described as ethereal and atmospheric, focusing on the subtle yet powerful moments of natural phenomena.

Russell aims to translate his experiences in travel and perception of nature in it’s most harmonious and serene form. His peaceful landscapes capture fleeting moments and spaces in time that feel dream-like and almost surreal.
