Randall Graham
Juror of Selection
Randall is an award-winning artist that also loves to share his knowledge of painting through teaching. He studied at The Carlin Academy of Fine Art and the University of Delaware. Randall also studies with Bo Bartlett who influenced his style. His work comes in a variety of channels including studio work, en plein air (outdoor painting) and his "en rain air" style. The "en rain air" style comes from painting a scene from his mini van or window while it is raining. The juxtaposition of abstract and reality creates emotional paintings which have become very popular with Randall's collectors.
Randall teaches traditional painting fundamentals at Randall Graham Studio in Malvern, Wayne Art Center and Chester County Art Association. For more information, go to https://www.randallgraham.com/.
