RANDI RUSSO's ART IS FEATURED ON REDFIN'S BLOG

July 6, 2022

Redfin — you know, like, the famous, one & only Redfin — contacted me out of the blue to be one of 14 artists featured in their latest blog post. They reached out to us artists for our creative advice to help renters and home-buyers find the right decor to personalize their living space. Check it out here: 14 Tips for Decorating a Rental Home or Apartment to Reflect Your Personality

Not only that, they included a picture of a painting of mine in there as well, along with my quote! Oh and this blog of theirs saw an average of 4 million in traffic last year. One in four million coming to my website — well, even that’s possible in today’s crazy world (I mean, one more than me; ha!).

“When The External Meets the Eternal” - 50x42” - acrylic paint, watercolor pencil, charcoal pencil, graphite on canvas. By Randi Russo, 2015. Now at a private residence and work/loft space in Venice, CA.

Looking for that special gift?

Art is not always as pricey as you think…

I created a new page simply called Extra! — maybe I could have left out the exclamation point but maybe that’s my nerd homage to Jeopardy!/Alex Trebek (and not to that celebrity show that says the word twice in that sing-songy way).

I wanted to put up some smaller pieces that are reasonably priced, as well as easy to find a space on your walls. These make perfect gifts — so unique and lovely! And through the year 2020 (one month left!), 20% of your purchase goes to charity (read more about Get and Give 2020 here.) The list of the charities is there but I will post again below.

On the Extra! page, be sure to click on the thumbnails to see the full image. If you hover over them, you will see the info which includes pricing (on mobile devices, there’s a dot in the RH lower corner that you click to see info). These pieces are from $75-150.

Contact me if interested in purchasing one by going to my contact page and describing or sending a screenshot of the one(s) you like.

It’s been a success so far! In a few days, six sold! For an artist, that’s pretty damn good!

And so here’s the list of charities to choose from (in no particular order of importance):

1. CDC Foundation Corona Virus Response Fund

2. Global Empowerment Mission

3. International Rescue Committee

4. Habitat for Humanity

5. Doctors without Borders

6. United Way Worldwide

7. cerf+ The Artist Safety Net

8. NAMI – National Alliance on Mental Illness

9. American Foundation for Suicide Prevention

10. Feeding America

11. Direct Relief

12. Meals on Wheels

13. Frontline Foods - 100% of your money goes directly to restaurants serving hospital workers.

14. Elmhurst Hospital

15. Cedars Sinai Hospital

16. Mount Sinai

17. UCLA Health

18. New York Presbyterian

19. Modest Needs

20. MusiCares

Art Show for Angelenos during Quarantine!

May 14, 2020

I am so proud to be invited to exhibit one of my paintings via a series of video projection installations by TZ Projects. It’s called, Going Home: a picture show, running from MAY 15-20th, 8pm-12AM (note start new time!).

The exhibition marks the official launch of TZ Projects. The show “consists of projected video window installations to provide a destination activity for Angelenos during quarantine.” (TZProjects.org)

My painting “Industrial Pastures of the Present” will be projected on a large screen up in the windows of TZ Projects’ space right on the corner of Beverly Blvd & Crescent Heights Blvd. 8070 Beverly Blvd to be exact… right in the center of Los Angeles!

Five nights of coolness and beauty! Read more about the show’s mission here, as well as see the list of many amazing artists who are part of it! Plus, there are ways to benefit charities associated with TZ Projects (please see their website).

So wonderful to hear that art is alive and well in LA! (of course it would be!!)

Oh, and in line with LA’s adherence to the rules during the pandemic, here is how you experience the show: You can view the show from your car or walk up to the window display while adhering to social distancing guidelines. It’s as easy as that!

For those of you not in Los Angeles, I will take video (of the videos!) and post to my social media pages. Do you follow me on Instagram and Facebook? Not yet? Why not?! I provided you links to make it easy…

AND, I have a music show coming up! But one blog post at a time ;)
