Randy has accumulated many awards and distinctions in his career. His studio is The Red Clay Studio in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The turtle is Randy's primary subject, for turtles have always been considered the Choctaw's story keepers and storytellers. The turtle keeps narratives shielded and protected under its shell until it is ready to share them. The storytellers are coiled-built and then finished with hand-burnishing . All of Randy's characters are well known for their cheerful, animated expressions.''
