Artist Spotlight: Rosemary Goodell

Claire Elizabeth Gallery is pleased to spotlight artist Rosemary Goodell. Goodell is a painter and printmaker based in Baton Rouge, LA. Originally from California, Goodell graduated with both a BFA & MFA from the University of California, Berkley and later studied at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts Boston. She received a Fulbright Fellowship to study and travel in Japan - an experience that continues to influence her creative practice. 

Goodell recently completed a printmaking workshop in Santa Fe, NM. This collection of monotypes was produced as part of her coursework.

In her own words:

These prints are about air and land. They are about seasons, locations and a moment in time. As I worked on these prints I thought about Asian art. I began to think of these prints as visual haiku. Here the visual is a form of writing. Like the Japanese poetry form of haiku, each print captures a moment in time. The landscape with the open areas of sky and space allows viewers to interpret and feel the moment for themselves.

Goodell’s work has been exhibited at the United Nations, Louisiana Arts & Science Museum, Louisiana State University, Southeastern University, Shaw Center for the Arts, and others. Her works are in the permanent collections of Brown University (RI), Hilliard Museum (LA), Southeastern University (LA), and Baton Rouge General Hospital among others. In 2019, she was featured on an episode of Art Rocks! which was aired on PBS.
