About the Artist

Russell Brohl II is a native of Ohio and currently a resident of Toledo, Ohio, where he works intently in his artist studio. He holds a Bachelors degree in Fine Arts from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago and an art education certificate from Trinity Christian College Palos Heights.IL. Passion for vestments came after living briefly on the East Coast and getting to see a wide range of liturgical space from the Gothic church of Saint Mary’s Times Square New York City to the Modern rebuilt Saint Peter’s Lutheran church New York City. Many historical research papers in art school where devoted to study of Western rite vestments. Many vestments where also constructed in my college studies as term assignments. Common inspirations to his work where Beryl Dean and Jane Lemon both innovators of ecclesiastical textile arts of the twentieth century.
