Randy Kinkel Randy Kinkel is an artist, writer, and radio DJ who has lived in the valley for the last 11 years.  His work can be seen in Red Dog Gallery, 812 N 3rd St, Phoenix, and at Southwest Gardener in Phoenix. You can hear him every weekday on 89.5 all-classical KBAQ where he is afternoon announcer and host of the daily “Mozart Buffet” at noon, serving up your Recomended  Daily Allowance of Mozart and his contemporaries.   When not moving paint around on a canvas, he might be playing his piano, listening to music, reading, browsing in various bookstores, music stores and art galleries, or playing Simcity 4, which he is addicted to.  Occasionally he does go outside, mainly for more art supplies and groceries. Another hobby is reading and collecting true accounts of ghosts and hauntings; he now has over 200 volumes.  He once occupied a haunted apartment and lived to tell the tale!  He is currently doing research for a book on the Ghosts of Phoenix. Randy and his wife Nancy share their lives with four beagles and two cats, all adopted or rescued from homes that could no longer care for them; they strongly support animal rescue organizations and no-kill shelters. _____________________________________________ "I believe in the transformative, expressive, and healing power of Art, both for the artist and those who view the artists' work.  Art in general, and painting in particular, has enriched my life immeasurably and given me different ways of seeing.  I hope you have something in your life that moves you and involves you as intensely and personally as art moves and involves me." --Randy Kinkel  Past and Present Shows May, 2004-- Grand Avenue Artists (Group Show) Cone Gallery, Phoenix, AZ July, 2004-- "Art for Art's Sake" Benefit, (Group Show) EyeLounge, Phoenix, AZ August, 2004--  "Dog Days, Cat Nights", Changing Hands Books, Tempe, AZ October, 2004-- "Day of the Dead- The Mechanics of Death" Rezurrection Gallery, Tempe, AZ September--December 2004-- "Dogs and Cats", Southwest Gardener, Phoenix, AZ April, 2005-- Walkin' the Dog on Central, Greta's pet Boutique, Phoenix, AZ Sept-2004-present-- Red Dog Gallery, 812 N. 3rd  St, Phoenix.
