Randi’s first recollection of drawing was sitting at a large desk her Dad built, with two spindles, which carried the butcher paper from her grandfather’s Smith Packing Company. With one side for her, and one side for her sister, the paper moved under wooden anchors and across the top of the desk, much like winding the film on a camera.
Painting became a passion for her in 1976, when she took an adult art class from Sharon Hobart, a teacher in Sergeant Bluff, IA. Then a fourth child arrived and a job took over--painting got set aside.

Randi has recently returned to her passion for watercolor, and can’t get enough of it--so very ready to retire from her job! Randi experiments with multiple subjects and styles, but really enjoys painting flowers, especially roses. Painting is an adventure for Randi. Every time she picks up a brush, it is truly a “new adventure”!

Randi has been a active member Siouxland Artists for two year. She first held the secretary position and this year she was elect president of Siouxland Artist. When the Galley opened Randi volunteered to take a position on the board as computer tech and bookkeeper.

Randi is a positive thinker, energetic, and has loads of great ideas. We are all looking forward to the day that she is able to pick up her paintbrush. . . every day!!
