Russell Sabin was born in California, raised in Oregon, and lived 17 years in Washington State. He spent the last 28 years in Hawaii where he was a successful Architect. His architectural renderings and watercolor landscapes of Hawaii were well known throughout the Islands. In 1998 he retired and moved to the small rural ranching community of Olney, Texas and now lives in Albuquerque since 2004. He has held Architectural licenses in California, Washington, and Hawaii. Russell Sabin received his art and architectural training at Columbia University in New York City, Park College in Missouri, and at the University of Oregon. His Paintings have been exhibited in California, Washington, Hawaii, and now Texas, having showings in Museums, Art Galleries, and private Art Shows. Since his retirement from the Architectural field, he is now fulfilling a life long dream of being a full time Artist. His current work has earned him many awards in shows in the Southwest. Being raised on the West Coast, Russell Sabin has always had an abiding interest in Western Art. Many of his current paintings reflect this interest in ranching, the lore of the American Cowboy, and the Native Americans of the West. His daily dedication to painting has improved his skills and promises to lead him in the future to more expressive and meaningful paintings of the American West.  He has just completed a series of Mission Churches in New Mexico. One of those is featured on this web site.
