Welcome to Randall Parmer’s Art World
Hello, I’m Randall Parmer, a proud native of LaGrange, Georgia, and the creative force behind this evolving painting portfolio.
From Pharmacist to Full-Time Artist:
After 40 years in pharmacy and contributing to our family’s water business, I embarked on a new chapter as a full-time artist. Under the guidance of esteemed LaGrange artist Steve Close and other mentors like David Boyd Jr., Laura Lanford, Roger Dale Brown, Mary Carole Larson, and Kathie Odom, my passion for Plein Air painting blossomed.
Influence of Family and History:
Growing up around Parmer Brothers Grocery and our family’s foray into raising cows and horses instilled in me an appreciation for the small-town rhythms that resonate in my art. This connection to my family’s history often finds expression in my work, especially when commissioned to paint historic buildings.
Artistic Journey and Achievements:
My artistic journey has taken me to Plein Air South 2019 in Apalachicola, FL, VAAL Show at LaGrange Art Museum, Meriwether Plein Air, and recognition in various contests and publications. I’ve had the honor of painting for Children’s Hospital of New Orleans, LA, University Medical Center of New Orleans, LA, and in private collections nationwide.
Beyond the Canvas:
Outside the studio, I’m immersed in Auburn sports and cherish tailgating with friends and family during football season. My wife Jill’s cottage gardens influence my work, and painting alongside our grandchildren is a joy.
