artist's studio

Randall Lake is an artist who resides in Salt Lake City, Utah. His work possesses both intrigue and vitality through his bold brushwork, vibrant palette and uniquely varied compositions.  

His paintings of interiors I particularly enjoy. They are intimate glimpses of tapestry woven layers of the past and present. 

Recently, I came across these images of his studio which he shares on his website. To see his work, see the link at the bottom of the post. 

Below, are images of his studio.
