What I love about Randi’s work is her unique “flow” style. It is not only visually captivating, it evokes such a feeling of calm and peace. My favorite painting is “Enchanted Forest”; it hangs in my personal sanctuary and I feel so at peace when I am in that space. Her large pieces make you feel as if you are right there in the scene.
Thanks so much again for the paintings. They’re stunning and even more captivating in person, as expected. I even get a little movement in the forms when looking at it sometimes. Thanks as well for packaging the paintings so well and framing them so nicely. Into the Sun has already brought such an awesome and positive energy into our home. Grateful to you for that!
We got the painting on Friday and had the best unboxing moment! It is so beautiful! Thank you!
Randi (Ripley) Ford is a new mother and wife now creating her work in northern Michigan in Benzie County.

Birch Trees Original Painting, Empire Bluff, Sleeping Bear Dunes -"Breathing 16" x 20"
Haven’t hung this yet …. But love it!
We bought this gorgeous painting from Randi at the Ann Arbor Art Fair. We were given a wedding present of choosing a piece of art, and this really stood out to us. We have been on several camping trips to Sleeping Bear Dunes as a couple, and this Empire Bluffs scene captivates the unique beauty of Lake Michigan. The frame completes the look, and the brush work and movement in the painting keeps me coming back to look at it.

This artist makes incredible works and the prints are so high-quality that I want to frame some of these prints after this year is over!
What a wonderful way to start 2026 - looking at each painting and adding each month's birthdays to the calendar. It's a foretaste of the beauty and hope that will fill this year!
I ordered my first Randi Ford piece for my den in Ohio - and I love it! The piece adds to the relaxed vibe and adds a little sophistication. We are building a second home near Traverse City Michigan and will be purchasing several more pieces.
