Russ Noto

Russell Noto was born in Scranton, Pennsylvania and remained in the greater area until receiving a BA from Keystone College in 2009. While earning his bachelors degree he was applying what he was learning in the studio to various art experiences outside of the classroom. He completed two large format paintings for the Scranton Parking Authority’s Permanent Collection from 2006–2007, along with various other community service and art related projects during his undergraduate experience. In 2009, Noto enters the Savannah College of Art and Design’s MFA Painting Program. During this time he expounds on his visual and theoretical vocabulary while making contact with collectors, gallery owners and the art market as a whole through his continuing exploration in large works. He remains as a working studio artist and MFA candidate at the Savannah College of Art and Design.
