About the Artist

Randine Westlund is an oil painter in Tucson, Arizona.  She paints landscapes and skyscapes because she cannot stop.

Originally from Santa Monica, California, she attended extension courses at UCLA and Otis College of Design and was active in the arts in the Pasadena, CA area before moving to the small town of Catalina, 20 miles north of Tucson, Arizona in 2013.

Her abstracted landscape/skyscapes have roots in naturalism and expressionism with dynamic relationships between form and color.

Her most influential art heroes are Richard Diebenkorn, Joan Eardley, Manny Farber, Rick Bartow, Terry DeLapp, Wolf Kahn, Susan Rothenberg and James McNeill Whistler.

Randine’s work is in collections in California, Oregon, Arizona, Texas,  Hawaii, South Carolina, Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, Georgia, Idaho, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Vermont, Ohio and Scotland.  She has no ambition as far as getting her work on the moon.

Randine has been a juried member of the Pasadena Society of Artists, Women Painters West, The Angeles Crest Art Guild and currently is a member of the Southern Arizona Arts Guild.
