The Artistic Journey of Laurie Goodhart
Laurie Goodhart is a lifelong professional artist with a BFA from the University of Albany. She has exhibited widely in the US and Canada for over 35 years and is represented in hundreds of private collections. The largest part of her work is in oil on canvas but also includes watercolor, imagery on stoneware vessels, block prints, artist books, large-scale paper mobiles, and sculpture. Laurie's artistic journey is deeply intertwined with her experiences as an organic farmer from 1988 to 2017, where she was largely occupied with goats and the alchemical transformations of milk and plants. These decades of raw, ever-precarious, thoughtful farm experience resonate throughout her artwork, testifying to the cycles and perils of life for all sentient beings, humans included.
