Russell Honeyman

I paint impressionist realism, using brushes and palette knives, oil and acrylic. My art work often reflects landscape and the body, and sometimes reflects the social and political reality. I've been drawing from life in pastels, pencils and charcoal since my teens. I've been painting since 2007, and have been involved in artists groups in Manchester, Zimbabwe and Brighton. I use creativity to explore my identity, to interpret and meditate on mind, body, nature, the world. I paint and draw and write and sometimes combine all three in digital mediums.
I'm a Dad and I live in Brighton. My parents were both artists.
