Biographie:
STORY TELLER: The pursuit of ballet led S.K. Randolph to the art of storytelling through movement. Her dance career spanned four decades of performing, teaching, choreographing, and directing. Over sixty of her original choreographic works were brought to life for theatre audiences in the United States, Canada, Bermuda, and Japan.____DIGITAL ARTIST: S.K. also creates image art. Since 1997 she has been creating original digital art on her computer using a process of her own creation from her photographs...without the use of generative AI._____VOYAGE TO WRITING: In 2010, she retired from the world of dance to tell her stories on the printed page. S.K. lived full-time on her boat for a decade cruising the coast of Southeast Alaska. Anchored in one remote, quiet cove or another, cut off from radio, television, cell phones, and the internet, she devoted her life to honing her skills photographing nature, creating digital art, catching dinner, and writing. Her storytelling now is through words and illustrations on the printed 'stage'._____BACK ASHORE: Today, she is reclaiming her land legs in the high desert of Western Colorado. Writing and creating art with mule deer looking in her studio window instead of brown bears and humpback whales on the other side of the porthole. S.K. is thriving in her new surroundings... but she so misses Karrew and the other Alaskan ravens!...
