Artist Bio
Artist Bio
Randi Isaacson, born and raised in Framingham Massachusetts,
studied art at Colorado College, where she received her bachelor's
degree in fine art. In college, she painted surreal landscapes with
strong bright colors in oil paints. Today the bright colors still remain,
but she now works in acrylic, pastel and caran d’ache crayon and
focuses on realistic and yet impressionistic landscapes and
waterscapes. "I am drawn to subjects that inspire calm, peace and
balance".
Randi opened the Post Road Art Center in 1990. The center offers fine
custom framing, all kinds of art work, unique handmade gifts and
jewelry, and fine art supplies. Randi has been certified by the
Professional Picture Frames Association. She is also an avid bike rider,
often cycling long distances to raise money for charities; and a
musician, playing in the band "Who's Leslie".
Artist Statement
Provincetown has been an inspiration to me for many years and for the past
few years I’ve spent a month each summer there. The simplicity of the land
and the boats found washed ashore or bobbing peacefully on the water
along with the artist community motivates and encourages me to sketch,
paint and create. As I walk along the beaches and throughout the town, I
capture everything of interest with my camera. In my art space, I shuffle
through the photos, dividing and separating them into piles of what catches
my eye, what inspires me and what I think I could build off of. I use my
photos as a guide, using only the concept or a segment, I decide upon my
palette, changing the colors to reflect a mood and the composition I am
creating, from there I let the painting take it's own course. The finished
paintings never look like the photo.
