Ingrid Russell
Profile
I am mostly a self-taught artist. I have been painting on and off since high school, but seriously since 2000. I live and work in the Blue Mountains in Australia.
I am a member of Blue Mountains Artist Company, Blue Mountains Creative Arts Society, and Nepean Art Society.
I create landscapes, florals, portraits, abstracts and design works, in oils, acrylics and mixed media.
To describe my style I would have to say colourist, as that is the most important factor for me.
I have just added two lovely calendars for 2009. Australiana – a selection of Australian landscapes and florals from my art, and The Beauty calendar – all the paintings and drawings from my Beauty series.

Writing
Water
I am water, let me flow. / I need water, let me grow. / I am the cycle of life,
Madonna Rising
She is woman.
A Walk in the Park
Come take my hand / My little one, / I will lead you through / Life’s mysteries.
Beauty in the Woods
Beauty slept so peacefully under the watchful eye of the forest. / All around the ghostly vines with their searching tendrils quivered and swayed …would she find her way home?
