Tidal Waves Under the Skin Painting

Randi Russo is a visual artist and musician who recently moved back to NY after a seven year stint in Los Angeles, CA, and five years in Chicago, IL. Before venturing into her dual careers in music and visual art in NYC in her 20s and 30s, she studied painting at Washington University in St. Louis and psychology at New York University. As a native New Yorker, she spent much of her time making a name for herself as a musician in NYC. She has opened for many well-known acts and been featured on high-profile compilations. After extensive touring and releasing three albums, Randi decided to leave NYC and venture to Chicago to pursue her first passion – painting. After a year in Chicago, Thomas Masters Gallery offered Randi representation, alongside artists such as Magdalena Abakanowicz, Hunt Slonem, and Art Shay. She had a solo exhibition there in January 2015.
