Lindsay Goodwin
(American b. 1982)
Lindsay was born in Santa
Monica, California in 1982. She seemed destined for an art career when at the
age of five; she thought she invented secondary colors when she mixed her
crayolas, creating orange, purple & green. At the age of 16, she was teaching
charcoal and oil painting at O’Neils Fine Arts in Malibu to children and teens.
It was at this school that she was first introduced to the paintings of John
Singer Sargent, who became a big influence and inspiration.
After graduating from High
School, Lindsay had a full scholarship to the University of San Diego. Within a
few weeks of her first semester, she realized she was pursuing the wrong path.
The art department had moved her into a senior level class after reviewing her
art portfolio, and yet she felt the school did not have the tools to help her
improve and get to where she longed to be. She quit to attend the Academy of
Art University in San Francisco. Upon her graduation, she was selected as one
of the top fine artists in her graduating class.
Her true artistic passion began
to unfold after she moved to Paris. Experiencing the city’s decorative
heritage, Goodwin’s brush soon revealed the full depth of her sensory
observations and artistic translations. Her paintings began to burst onto the
art scene through widespread publication highlighting her impressive talent.
Lindsay returned to the United
States and soon Collectors and celebrities everywhere began snapping up her work
as they became available. This caught the attention of such notable magazines
as Southwest Art, who selected her as one of their featured group “21 under 31”,
an annual spread which recognizes the most talented of the current young
generation of fine artists. She has been a featured Artist in both fine art and
mainstream publications, such as American Art Collector, Fine Art Connoisseur,
Plein Air, American Style, Casa Magazine, San Francisco Chronicle, Montecito
Magazine, Santa Barbara Seasons, C magazine and American Art Review numerous
times. She has had numerous sold out One Woman Shows within the United States
and has also been juried into the Gold Medal show of the California Art Club.
This has been a remarkable achievement for such a young Artist.
Lindsay lives in California and
makes a yearly pilgrimage to the historic interiors of France to build reference
and studies for her latest works, which merge reality and romanticism. She has
found a niche in painting interiors, and has achieved an amazingly successful
art career for one so young.
Jones & Terwilliger Galleries proudly represent her
paintings in California.
