Russell said that it is through her personal travels and experiences that she is able to bring such beauty and depth to her wild subjects. Her dedication to the study of her subjects has taken her to many wild and remote destinations, including Patagonia, Alaska and her undeniable favorite—Africa.

“I applaud Dallas Safari Club and the countless members and supporters of conservation of wildlife and wild places,” said Russell. “It is an honor to be involved with this organization and other conservation efforts who provide boots on the ground for anti-poaching and wildlife conservation.”
