About the facilitator

Russell Solomon was born into an artistic family, most notably his grandfather, Lance Solomon, a renowned landscape painter. Under his grandfather's tutelage, Russell followed his passion and honed his artistic skills.

After a lifetime of drawing, Russell discovered wire as a three-dimensional line and created his first wire sculpture in 1989. Using wire as a medium for expression and drawing offered him a new level of tangibility and engagement with his art.

In his late twenties, Russell pursued a full-time career as an artist, exhibiting extensively, creating prolifically and selling sculptures through markets, gallery gift shops and boutique stores. He has spent decades exploring the possibilities of wire as an artistic medium while conducting workshops in local communities, schools, regional and remote areas, and First Nations communities across Australia.

Over the past 25 years, Russell has incorporated recycled and found objects into his work, reflecting his ongoing concern for the environment, its inhabitants and humanity's impact on the natural world. His artistic practice is strongly influenced by his love of Australian native flora and fauna, while also exploring broader social issues facing society.

Russell's work is represented in private and corporate collections around the world.
