Elayne Goodman
Art as Life


May 28 - July 12

The genesis of Goodman's art style comes from her rural Mississippi childhood during the depression era when materials and time to create were limited.

Goodman says "My work is characterized by exceptionally high content and color. Each piece is one-of-a-kind. I do have some recurring motifs such as Elvis, Bible stories and fish. I select used materials and attempt to give them new life by forcing the viewer to see them in a new context. Other than paint, glue, screws, etc., all materials are recycled. I regard everything as potential art material and am shameless in my search.”


She is self-taught and re-purposes objects found at flea markets, auctions and garage sales. Encouraged by the art faculty at Mississippi University for Women, Goodman received a BFA at the age of 49.
