We are delighted to welcome PSBA member and educator Randi Parkhurst to our ZOOM Lunchtime Conversation series. Randi invites us into her Olympia studio to share her colorful works on paper, including eco prints, gel prints and more. Her papers are used to embellish her handmade books, boxes and intricate constructions. Randi is also beginning her exploration of natural dyes and will showcase this work during her presentation!

Randi shares her knowledge via teaching art workshops nation-wide. Her work can be viewed at The Evergreen State College Rare Books Library, Penland School of Craft and in numerous private collections, publications and online.

Meet the Presenter Randi Parkhurst

The forms, colors and textures in nature have been a lifelong inspiration for Randi. She combines her hand painted papers, botanical prints and knack for building structures to create interactive art forms. Part boxes, part books, part buildings, her work is intricate and precise, while remaining accessible to the viewer. Her botanical prints are framed or used as material for covering boxes and book covers, notecards and small paper houses. There are often tiny books and other surprises hidden inside her delightful constructions.

Randi’s studio is located in Olympia, WA, in an idyllic, park-like setting. It is surrounded by a large garden, lovingly cared for. When making her botanical prints, she need only walk outside her studio door to gather colorful leaves for her compositions.
