| Russell Chatham was
born in San Francisco on October 27, 1939. He lived in the
city until 1949 when his family moved to San Anselmo,
where he spent the next twelve years. For the following
eleven years, he worked and lived in Marshall, San Rafael,
San Anselmo, Black Point, Bolinas, and Nicasio, earning
his living as a sign painter and cabinetmaker slash
carpenter. In the spring of 1972 he moved to Livingston,
Montana. As a painter and author, Chatham is self-taught.
He is the grandson of the great landscape painter Gottardo
Piazzoni. He began exhibiting formally in 1958, and since then has had something on the order of four hundred one man shows at museums, art centers, private galleries, schools, colleges and universities not only throughout the west in places like Sun Valley, Aspen, Santa Fe and Denver, but also in New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Chicago, Seattle, Dallas, San Francisco and Los Angeles. His work has also been exhibited in Europe and the Orient. Chatham began printmaking in 1981, and is today regarded as one of the world's foremost lithographers. Publications about Chatham include a catalogue called One Hundred Paintings, and another about his original lithographs called The Missouri Headwaters. Several new books are in production, scheduled for release in 2005. One is called Selected Lithographs, another is The Seasons, a survey of the large format canvasses, and the third is a book of the Marin County paintings done from 1999 through 2005. Chatham has been profiled in Esquire, Southwest Art, People, U.S. Art, Antiques and Fine Art, Architectural Digest, Smart, The Denver Post, The San Francisco Chronicle, The San Francisco Examiner, The Los Angeles Times, The Washington Post, The Chicago Tribune, The Seattle Times, The Associated Press, National Public Radio's Morning Edition, and Fresh Air, PBS, and CBS Sunday Morning. Chatham's writing includes hundreds of articles, short stories, essays and reviews about fly fishing, bird hunting and conservation as well as a number of pieces on food and wine. Since 1967 his work has appeared in Esquire, Sports Illustrated, The Atlantic, Men's Journal, Outside, Sports Afield, Field & Stream, Outdoor Life, Gray's Sporting Journal, Fly Fisherman, Fly Rod and Reel, as well as in dozens of newspapers and smaller specialty magazines. His books include The Angler's Coast, Silent Seasons, and Dark Waters. One new book is in progress, and should be released in 2006. He is the founder and publisher of Clark City Press, which, since 1989, has published 32 books of fiction, non-fiction, poetry, art, photography, and children's classics, all of which have given the Livingston based company a sound national reputation. In 1995, Chatham conceived and designed a restaurant. Chatham's Livingston Bar & Grille was built during the first ten and a half months of 1996, opening on November 15th of that year. Having celebrated its ninth New Year's Eve with a formal dinner and dance, the restaurant is enjoying a reputation as one of the Rocky Mountain region's premier dining establishments. Among Chatham's private collectors are authors Peter Matthiessen, David Halberstam, Jim Harrison, Thomas McGuane, William Hjortsberg, James Crumley, Richard Ford, Rick Bass, Dr. Hunter S.
