Erica Russell

Erica Russell has always loved art and horses; learning to depict the power and beauty of these animals has been a life’s work. The grace of such a large force, and the expression of that force on a 2D surface have been a focus in many of her paintings. Her passion for painting horses continues to drive her practice.

Her innate talent was honed by two years private study with Barrie artist Agnes Almar, learning to render animals realistically in acrylic paint. She studied Visual Art and BioMedical Science at the University of Guelph and then Teacher’s College at the University of Toronto. Erica has taught Visual Art and Science at the Secondary School level for seventeen years.
