Born from an artistic family, Paul Russell is an inventor and contemporary artist. Paul’s family line traces back to his great grandfather (Axel Larson), a professional wood carver, who immigrated from Sweden to the United States in 1890. Paul also looked up to his uncle, Donn Russell, who was a post war contemporary artist living on Nantucket and New York City. Donn’s galleries and art focused on painting, serigraphs, and sculptures and has been featured in many art and architecture publications, and has illustrations in such periodicals as the New York Times Book Reviews, The New Yorker, Time, Life and Fortune.
