Exhibited : 1983 Barry Lett Gallery, Solo Show

Glenda Randerson is an Auckland based artist who studied at Elam School of Fine Arts under Colin McCahon & Garth Tapper.

Her earlier paintings were still-lifes and domestic interiors which later developed into figure studies. Randerson chose to paint domestic scenes rather than landscape, to record the interiors of Auckland homes and still-life groups set in them. These works have a peaceful, sheltered quality, as if cut off from the concerns of the outside world.

She paints her works on an easel in oils on canvas. Each painting takes considerable time to complete - a month or more at least. She prefers to paint direct from her subject where possible. This approach contributes to the unique feel of her paintings when looked at in the New Zealand context. They have a reflective, contemplative quality.

Randerson has exhibited professionally as an artist since 1975. Her work has been included in over 40 exhibitions throughout New Zealand in both public and private galleries. Her art practice has involved two painting genres; still life and portraiture. Working as a realist painter she continues to explore formal qualities of oil painting techniques and the narrative of the object. Her art is held in the permanent collection of Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki.
