Nancy L. Russell renders her sculptures in a variety of mediums, including wood, stone, clay, and bronze.  Materials native to Oklahoma are often selected, bringing a unique quality to the work.  Carvings in cedar, black walnut, catalpa, and alabaster are available in her gallery.

Her subject matter is as diverse as her mediums.  One can find examples of animals, portrait busts, religious pieces, Southwestern art, Egyptian art, marine, as well as garden and fountain sculptures.   She is as comfortable with miniatures as she is with life size, and as comfortable with realistic as she is with stylistic.  Nancy’s talent is self-evident, and her work a testimonial to the joy she takes from it.  

Examples of Nancy’s sculpture can be found in galleries and private collections across the United States.  A three-figure life-size bronze war memorial entitled, “Willing Young Men from Ranch and Rail,” was recently dedicated in Waynoka, Oklahoma.  

Nancy grew up in Minnesota but has lived and worked in Oklahoma most of her adult life.  She and her husband, Dr. Sheldon Russell, a novelist, currently own and operate The Double Starr Studio and Gallery at 328 W. Oklahoma Ave., in Guthrie, Oklahoma.
