Current Exhibit
Deep Impressions: Elinor Randall, Master Printmaker
Wed, Sep 13, 2023 – Sat, Oct 28, 2023
Studio Place Arts (map)
Originally scheduled to run through July and August, the exhibit was put on hold due to the July flooding of Barre that impacted Studio Place Arts. We are pleased to share Randy’s work with more people (and happy to report that Studio Place Arts is recovering well).
Elinor Randall (Randy), a master printer who studied under George Grosz and Marshall Glasier, made a life in Vermont in her later years. As a youngster, Randy spent much time with horses, and identified with them to the extent that she admitted to having few friends, and found herself spending most of her waking hours working with and taking care of horses. These became a dominant theme in her artwork. She connected the beast of burden role of horses with the role of women in society.
