Florence Randle

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Florence Randle was a Works Progress Administration photographer who traveled with her teenage niece (Phyllis Sheffield) to photograph Miccosukee in South Florida around 1937. Randle is survived by her niece, who works as a painter and sels the acclaimed documentary photographs they made together.

Jeff Klinkenberg wrote about their work and it has been displayed at the Smithsonian[1] and in Seminole collections.[2] Her work is also in the P.K. Yonge Library of Florida History[3] and the collections of the South Florida Archaeology and Ethnography Program[4] at the Florida Museum of Natural History in Gainesville, Florida. Their work is also included in the Phyllis Sheffield Collection at the Department of Anthropology & Genealogy, Seminole Tribe of Florida.

Sheffield continues to sell their work along with her own paintings.[1][5]
