Linda Manes Goodwin
My figurative paintings are more poetry than realism. Oil on canvas, they are composed using an array of thickly layered color, texture, and pattern to form a rich, harmonious tableau – evocative of the varied musical voices I was immersed in as a classical pianist.
The women I portray are grounded and confidant, while feminine and graceful. And although I do love dresses, like pears in a still life they are a vehicle for creating an opulent, luminous surface.
I attended The Art Students League in NYC, earned a BFA from Washington University and studied in Florence, Italy. While living in NY I had several shows, including a piece at the Museo Del Barrio on Fifth Avenue.
When I moved to California many years ago, I took a hiatus from art to raise my family. In 2019 I started painting again. I have a studio at Art Bias in San Carlos and joined Gallery House in Palo Alto in January 2021. I have shown at many venues throughout the San Francisco, Bay Area and through Art Bias I am a mentor for a group of Sequoia High School students.
