Randall Scott Harden Bio
American Landscape Painter
As an award winning artist, Randall Scott Harden dedicates his being to creating art - it is his lifestyle. He sees the world through an artist's eyes - as patterns of color, shapes, and light. His strength lies in his ability to create a timeless style with the essence of romance effortlessly. Whether having a glass of wine in Paris or hiking in Tuscany, he is continually looking for that perfect balance of subject, atmosphere, and hue...those things, combined with years of experience, allow his brush to flow freely in an expression of the moment.
At an early age, Randall felt the need to use art as a tool to interpret the world as he knew it. With a gift of natural ability, he was tutored by local talent and continued to study throughout his life in workshops, museums, studios, and "en plein air" alongside his award-winning peers. Today, he has a successful career bringing his vision to others through his paintings and workshops.
