Meet Randi Markowitz! 🎨

Randi creates vibrant, uplifting mixed-media abstract paintings that explore themes of transformation, home, and emotional storytelling. Her work begins with layers of acrylic paint, paper, stencils, marks, and found elements—and rarely ends where it started. Torn paper, texture, hidden words, and unexpected details invite you to look closer and discover what lies beneath the surface.

RANDI will be creating LIVE during our Makers Celebration!

Come watch the creative process up close, ask questions, and get a behind-the-scenes look at what goes into making original art.

📅 Friday, October 16 • 5–8 PM
📍 Pittsboro Gallery of Arts • 44-A Hillsboro St., Downtown Pittsboro

Join us for live art demonstrations, music, refreshments, and an evening celebrating the artists who make our gallery special.
