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.   back to home page Randall chose to channel his creative abilities in the field of architecture. He received his Bachelor of Architecture with High Honours from the University of Texas at Austin, which included courses in watercolour, 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 colour, pattern and texture, which he continues in his art today. After his move to Canada in 2001 and a successful solo exhibition at Place Des Arts in Coquitlam, British Columbia in 2007, he returned to California in 2009, to paint in Palm Springs. He exhibits and commissions art for galleries, interior designers and private collectors in British Columbia as well as Palm Springs and San Diego, California. He is a writer as well as an artist, with an award-winning screenplay.
