The Mild, Mild West 
Childhood and family experiences shared through visual stories. Jennifer Randall 

This exhibition is all new work which explores memories, and personal stories. From my childhood to the childhood of my own kids, experiences that tie into the West and the connection to place and time are explored. 

The collection is both playful and melancholy with remembrances, like a trail of bread crumbs that I seem to go back to, over and over and over again.

Randall is a graduate of the Academy of Art, San Francisco, and began her professional career in Los Angeles, co-creating graphic designs for Tom Petty’s Great Wide Open tour before establishing a deep, narrative-driven visual practice.

Her work spans multiple mediums to explore connection, identity, and socio-environmental themes. Key series include Camisole de Force, which utilizes straightjackets as canvases to examine control; What A Gas!, addressing socio-economic issues via gas mask iconography; The Triple Goddess, diving into feminine archetypes; and The Mama Temple, a multimedia community collaboration reshaping narratives around motherhood. Beyond the studio, Jennifer has built lasting community arts initiatives, including founding Hutchinson, Kansas’s long-running Third Thursday art walks and facilitating downtown public murals.
