“I started painting as the antithesis of my day work on computers several years ago. It was never more than a hobby at first. Then my world was rocked when I met one of the original crew of Berkley Abex movement from the Student Art League. He took me under his tutorage and I was thirsty to learn. Then, at 49 after two heart attacks the universe finally got through to me and I realized that art was my future. Now, in synch with the universe, I’m exploring and learning more on a daily basis than I have ever before.” – Russell Lundstrom
