Randi is the mother of two girls and seven grandchildren.  She grew up in Albuq. where she attended Manzano high school, CNM and later UNM.  Creative roots stem from Randi's early years and after high school she enrolled at the University of NM where she pursued an art degree.  However, a detour led the artist into the field of dental hygiene propelling her into a world of three-dimensional art such as teeth.  A very hands-on person, Randi found herself thriving on caring for the public while enjoying the art of tooth morphology.  After 27 years as a dental hygienist Randi retired at the onset of the pandemic.

With her health career behind her, this mostly self-taught artist was now free to pursue her love for art in the medium of oils, pastels and Gouache.  No matter what the choice of subject, Randi works at capturing the mood and personality of her focus.   Human & animal portraits have been a favorite but recently she has ventured into the world of ranch life with recent paintings of private cattle herds, cowgirl portraits and still life such as boots.   Randi works from photos and has done several commission pieces.   Throughout her 27 years of dental hygiene Randi sold her work privately and to the public.   After her retirement she embraced the world of art more seriously and genuinely loves creating new works.

The choice of paint Randi uses is professional, non-fade grade (oil paint, oil pencils or Gouache) and is applied to either mixed media portrait paper, canvas or aquabord (clay covered art board ).  
At completion of her paintings, Randi seals them with a museum quality professional UV protective varnish.
