Russell Crotty Biography – Russell Crotty on artnet

  • Russell Crotty (born , San Rafael) is a Southern California based artist whose work has been shown internationally and across the United States.

    • Born in San Rafael, California, 1956.

    A native Californian, Russell Crotty grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area, began and nurtured his art career in Los Angeles, lived many years in the Santa Monica Mountains and now works in Ventura and resides in Ojai, California.

    For over 30 years, Crotty has created and exhibited a large body of art work, manifested in globes, drawings, collages and books. 

    Three passions could identify Crotty’s lifestyle and enlighten his work: drawing, astronomy and surfing. The nights spent watching the sky from his Pacific observatory deck result in sketches of planetary landscapes, notes and doodles outlining the Earth’s anatomy, trying to seize the whole Universe. The development of these first sketches into fine drawings and sculptures provide a humanistic approach to a Science that often escapes us, that of Space.
