Randy Elrod is described by his friends as a Renaissance man. A dreamer, artist, writer, speaker and mentor, he enjoys a marriage of 30 years with his childhood sweetheart, Chris. They enjoy traveling the world, the sacraments of food and wine, the culinary arts, and hosting guests at their home “La Maison des Reves” in historic downtown Franklin, Tennessee. They have two daughters, a son-in-law & a maltese named Taffy. He loves reading and favorite authors include Ayn Rand, Frederick Buechner, Madeline L’Engle and David McCullough.
He also enjoys painting nature and the female figure with watercolor, and revels in the sensory overload of climbing America’s highest mountains. He navigated the Uganik River with only a tent and raft in grizzly country for a week in the wilderness of Kodiak Island, Alaska. He has completed nineteen full marathons (yes, 26.2 miles each).
A self-taught artist, Randy began painting in the winter of 2002 at the age of forty-two after his wife Chris gifted him with an easel and paints. A lifelong love affair with graphite sketching provides the foundation for the watercolors and anchors his distinctive style. Originals and limited edition prints can be purchased on his art gallery, SacramentalLife.org.
All profits from SacramentalLife.org benefit his charity, Kalein, a 2,000 acre non-profit Center for Creative studies that provides world-class master teachers and retreats for gifted artists and leaders.
He teaches and speaks at Lifework 2.0 about engaging your clients and fans in the digital world.
He also gathers global early adopters and creatives together annually at the cre:ate Conference
