GINI GOLDIE

  My paintings to evolve out of both past memories and the immediate artistic experience - which I perceive as both mystical and magical. The patterns of life that are evoked in my paintings come from techniques developed over a lifetime and that sublime involvement in the moment - or what is known as the process of creating.   Born and raised in New York City, I was fortunate to experience the joys of artistic creativity that NYC had to offer - from the Beatnik Cafes and Schools of Greenwich Village (yes, along with Bob Dillan, though not together). Working in theatrical advertizing, I took every advantage of the wonders of Broadway and NY Museums and Galleries.   I have BA in Art & Education from Adelphi and began my art career with a NYC theatrical advertising firm. We had four children, but I managed to get two Master’s degrees - one in Liberal Studies and one in Anthropology & Archaeology - both from SUNY at Stony Brook, the beautiful north shore town where we lived for thirty years.   In addition to creating art, I have also taught various anthropology & liberal studies courses at Yavapai College - Verde Campus. I also teach various art & creativity workshops.   I arrived in Arizona’s beautiful Verde Valley in 1994. Museums which have exhibited my work: Schneider Museum of Art in Ashland, OR & the Albuquerque Museum   I am a juried member of the Northern Arizona Watercolor Society (NAWS) and the National Society of Layerists in Multi-Media (SLMM). I am also a member of the Sedona Visual Artists Coalition (SVAC), Sedona Art Center, El Valle Artists Association (EVAA) and Made in Clarkdale (MIC). Besides have exhibited in NY, AZ & Ajijic, Mexico. My work is in numerous private collections nationwide, primarily in MA, DE, NY, VA, AZ, CA, OR, D.C.
