Message from Linda Goodman

Finally we are emerging from the Covid cocoon into which we were thrust.

I missed meeting with students and my collectors. In the spirit of re-engaging, I hope to be offering tutorials, classes and studio private views in the near future.. Please sign up on my mailing list for notice of my classes and exhibits. Join her mailing list . Please look at past classes on the site for ideas of what Linda will be offering. Classes & Tutorials

My first class will be tutorials for artists to explore and develop their artistic vocabulary and technical skills by engaging with my expert feedback in printmaking, painting, drawing and artist books. Later there will be workshops and classes in these areas. Please email me with your interests or questions.

All on-site meetings will take place at Linda’s Petaluma studios or online. Considerations for Covid prevention will be observed.Linda’s etching and litho presses will not be used by more than 1 persons at a time until it is safe to do so indoors. Exceptions may be made for independent use of Linda’s lithography press by some qualified artists. Contact Linda for further information on future press usage.
No international or out-of-area workshops are currently forecast. Hopefully in future years
!

These are difficult times and I hope all my collectors, friends and art lovers are staying safe and sane. I was grateful to have my most recent one-person exhibit in November 2019 at Rob Reiter's Berkeley Lightroom Gallery, before the virus befell us. Thank you to all my friends and collectors who were able to visit!

Now I am again creating art in my studio in Petaluma, and swimming at the public pool! Thankful for small pleasures. Soon I will be doing private views by apointment in my studio. Please contact me to arrange one.

Until then, please enjoy these pictures from the exhibit. Stay safe out there!
