July 2026: Randy Goldtooth
Randy Goldtooth is a multimedia artist who sees art as a way to express a feeling and connection. Randy grew up in Rock Point, AZ on the Navajo Reservation. He remembers challenging his brothers to see who could draw better by the kerosene lamp. When he was thirteen, he came to live in Moab and attended school in Grand County. Though he’d been drawing off and on for his whole life, it wasn’t until around 2019 that Randy fully embraced his art creation and now he draws or paints most days.
Wanting to stray away from the common Moab rock drawings, Randy focuses on images that interest him using a variety of mediums. He experiments with watercolors, acrylic paint, colored pencils, pastels, drywall mud, cut paper, and more. In his life and in his artwork, he has learned the power of challenging himself to do difficult things. Experimentation is the driver of his curiosity, keeping him in conversation with each piece. Art-making runs in Randy’s family: his mother and grandmother were weavers and his brothers and sisters are artists working in mediums like ballpoint pen, photography, beading, and more. Randy hopes that his own artistic practice will uphold the tradition of inspiring the work of future generations.
