RCA presents Dr. Melanie Russell: Insights on Creativity
On June 13 th at 4:00pm, Professor Melanie Russell will talk about accessing your own creativity! Rim Country Artists (RCA) is proud to present Dr. Russell as the speaker at their monthly meeting at the Payson Public Library.
Dr. Melanie Russell has been an English professor with Eastern Arizona College since 2007. Born and raised in Southern Arizona, she relocated with her family to Payson in 2022 to bring more face-to-face classes to the EAC Payson campus. After earning both her Bachelor’s degree in Learning and Pedagogy and her Master’s degree in English Studies from Northern Arizona University, she earned her Ph.D. in English Literature from the University of Sheffield in the United Kingdom.
Dr. Russell has published papers with the Renaissance Society of America, the academic journal Orbis Litterarum, as well as with the University of Sheffield. Some of her interests include personal history writing, creative non-fiction writing, as well as children’s literature.
In her June 13 th RCA presentation, Dr. Russell will be discussing the common elements shared across various art forms, whether it be painting, textiles, ceramics or the written word. It will be opened up for what is hoped to be a robust group discussion of the creative process, inspiration, composition and creative approach. It is Dr. Russell’s hope that everyone will benefit from hearing others’ perspectives and approaches in their own artwork, perhaps gaining a fresh perspective on their own creative process.
This June 13 th artist presentation is open to the public and all are welcome! RCA asks that you please bring as admission a donation of nutritious packaged snack ood to be given to students in the after-school program at Payson Community Kids.
