Peyton Scott Russell 
For more than 35 years, Peyton Scott Russell has been a professional artist and educator. Born in Minneapolis, MN, Russell’s earliest memories as a child were making art and being creative. This continued into high school, where he discovered graffiti art from the film Style Wars in 1984. A portfolio of traditional art and graffiti-influenced works helped him earn acceptance into the School of the Arts Institute of Chicago. Graduating in 1991, Russell became a professional artist and teaching artist by founding organizations like House of Daskarone, Juxtaposition Arts, and Art House Education.
