Art Merged
Simple lines, the presence of the photograph encourages you to drift into; and the elements, thickness of the wood, and the organic feel of the brackets, keeps the art grounded in space. This is one of thirteen, but each piece is one of a kind. Every work is best felt in person.

The Great Western Show
Every year in March in Great Falls Montana, art comes together to celebrate CM Russle’s birthday. Quite an event; more than 700 artists in different shows through out the town. I have several new pieces of art, and I’m looking forward to creating many more innovative and visceral artwork combining traditional techniques with craftsmanship, and my unique vision and process.
