Randall Sexton(b. 1958), is nationally known for the color and expressive brushwork in his oil paintings of “everyday” scenes. He is described as a “painters’ painter” by Jean Stern (Director for The Irvine Museum of Art). In his words, “As one of the premier contemporary painters of the California landscape, Randall paints still-lifes, figures, and portraits with equal mastery…His work evokes deep feelings, whether it’s the solitude of a deserted street at night or the exultation of a beautiful landscape, each speaks softly to the viewer.”

Originally from rural New England, Sexton transplanted to San Francisco, CA (after completing a BFA from the University of CT, Storrs, in 1980.) Since then, he has been a fixture in the Bay Area art scene with a reputation as an inspiring teacher and collectable fine artist. Represented by the John Pence Gallery in San Francisco, Sexton also shows with the Nancy Dodds Gallery( in Carmel) and The Walls Gallery (in West Virginia) among others. For ten years he held a position with the San Francisco Academy of Art, SF. He now teaches various private workshops and classes including the Bay Area’s own Pixar Studios. His workshops have been hosted in destinations within the U.S. and abroad.
