I graduated from the University of Massachusetts in Amherst, Ma. with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 1973. My expressionist and mixed media paintings are done in the visual language of line, color, shape and creative inventiveness that is at the center of my work. I paint with energy and passion in an interpretive and expressive process that I use in the visual language that is my art.’, RUSSPOTAK.WIXSITE.COM
