Born in Houston, Texas, Randall Weidner won a fine arts scholarship at an early age and attended classes at the Art School of Houston’s Museum of Fine Arts. His talent continued to qualify him for nine years of instruction at this institution, now known as the Glassell School.

Randall chose to channel his creative abilities in the field of architecture. He received his Bachelor of Architecture with High Honors from the University of Texas at Austin, which included courses in watercolor, life drawing and design. As an architect he designed private residences, public buildings, commercial facilities, houses of worship and projects that involved preservation of heritage properties.

Realizing he placed his design priority on the function of interior spaces, rather than on an exterior aesthetic, Randall refocused his career on interior design and space planning. The selection of textiles and interior finishes initiated Randall’s exploration of color, pattern and texture, which he continues in his art today.

After a successful practice of architecture and interior design in Texas and California, Randall moved to British Columbia in 2001, where he had a 63 piece solo exhibition at the Place des Arts, near Vancouver.

In 2009 Randall returned to California and to paint in the beautifully vibrant and inspiring city of Palm Springs.   He is a member of the Artists Council of the Palm Springs Art Museum and was juried into the A.C.E. 2011 show, one of fifty artists from a field of 134.  The Desert Art Center, an artist-run gallery in Palm Springs, regularly exhibits his work on an ongoing basis.  He has also been juried into the City of Pam Springs Annual show for 2010 and 2011.
