As Randy says,” I will use anything that sticks!”
Randy’s early art education was at Moore College of Art in Philadelphia where her mother took her for Saturday Art classes for years. She then went on to be educated at Minneapolis College of Art and Design and San Francisco Art Institute where she received a B.F.A. and M.F.A. Randy simultaneously continued her Fine Arts career. She is an exhibiting artist with numerous one women and group shows. Her work is in many collections worldwide.
Randy has an extensive body of work from large scale paintings, models, to most recently her “relic” series. She was inspired by her travels and dreams; Randy wanted to create intimate smaller work with a bit of mystery. The original relic pieces transfer to prints beautifully. The Relic Print series have a 3 dimensional quality, exquisite detail, colors and textures. They are now available in limited edition prints.
