About the artist:
Randy Pitts grew up in northeast Florida. He graduated from the University of Florida in 1982 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree, with a concentration on drawing and printmaking. After graduation he began his career in commercial art and worked as a designer for a number of advertising agencies in Jacksonville, FL. In 2001, Randy decided to take another path and dedicated his time totally to fine art. Since then he has primarily concentrated on the Plein Air style of painting and the challenges of capturing the variances of light, form and shape you see in his collection of work. Committed to refining his skills, Randy has continued his art education by attending numerous classes and workshops around the country. Currently, he exhibits in many local and regional shows and has won a number of first place awards.  Most recently, he won the Artists’ Choice Award at the prestigious 9th annual Wekiva Paint Out in 2015. Randy’s work has also been featured on the cover of Arbus magazine. His artwork was also selected by Southwest Art Magazine to promote the Art of the Trees in their “Beyond the West” section.
