Randy Meador is a wholly self-taught artist without instruction except his own exhaustive study of works by Winslow Homer, John Singer Sargent, Nicolai Fechin, and Joaquin Sorolla.
Born just a stone’s throw from the Waggoner Ranch in Vernon, Texas and raised on a smaller ranch in Central West Texas, he fell in love with the hues of the West and returned to those hues in 2007 as a full time artist.
In 2012 Randy began accepting workshop and demo requests. His animated and unorthodox stage presentations are filling much of his annual schedule, and are currently being developed into a syndicated television show.
Don’t miss out on this fun, mind-changing experience!
