Randy Simmons works in charcoal using Renaissance chiaroscuro drawing techniques. His large-format drawings have the beauty and detail associated with old world masters yet they are fully engaged in a contemporary dialogue. Randy's subject matter is enigmatic, tense and edgy, broaching subjects associated with today's family unit and realities of life. Simmons is an Associate Professor of Art at Paducah State College in Kentucky where he teaches drawing, life drawing and introduction to art. He exhibits his drawings nationally and is a recent recipient of two Kentucky Arts Council grants.
