About the Artist
Russell Kahn BioI have traveled full circle creating and teaching art for the past 35 years in the Southwest and New England. I enjoy being part of my local community as well as globally. My mom was from Tel-Aviv, Israel, my Dad from Capetown, South Africa ,and my Step Mom from Innsbruck, Austria. All of these places and cultures helped shape who I am today and how I see the world. I received my 120 credit studio diploma from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston and my K-12 teaching certificate through Tufts University in Medford, Mass. While teaching art in Chinle, AZ, on the Navajo reservation I received my Master in Arts degree from Adams State College in Alamosa, Colorado. I then moved to Tucson, Arizona and taught art in Sells,AZ at Baboquivari High School on the Tohono O'odham reservation. I re- turned to the Southwest in 2020 in part due to the pandemic to teach at Monument Valley High School in Kayenta,AZ for 2 years.
Currently I am living in Tucson and teaching part time at Desert Sage High School, Tuc- son Clay Co-op, and The Drawing Studio.
