R.C. Mowry is an artist working in a variety of media:  oil, acrylic, pastel, lettering, carving, and assemblage. Russ works on multiple pieces simultaneously moving from work to work as the process strikes him. His creative inspiration usually starts with a simple concept or idea but then moves forward in energy and complexity as the piece takes shape. He is especially moved by the storied expanse of the Western hills of Wyoming, South Dakota and Montana and by the changing tides off the coast of Maine.
