creating?

Since I became sick I had to

Artist Statement for Claudia Goodell

I rediscovered my love for art and found my passion for oil painting after being diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue and Immune Dysfunction Syndrome (CFIDS) and Fibromyalgia in 2005. I had previously practiced as an audiologist for 8 years, and later worked in the pharmaceutical industry. Being chronically ill forced me to abandon my career to stay home and rest. What I didn’t know was that a new opportunity was blooming. During this challenging period of change I was encouraged by my son-in-law, a very talented artist, to "just paint", but shortly thereafter we lost him to suicide. I inherited the contents of his studio and continue to use his equipment and supplies. His influence is present in my work. I am inspired by the complexity of flowers, and oil painting them in a macro format is very meditative and healing for me. I enjoy expressing the soft exterior of the petals, and the safe, complex centers through the use of color and texture. Art is my new focus, and so I "just paint". Although I have had some formal training, I am primarily self taught. My work is shown nationally, and in some international online galleries. It can also be viewed and purchased at http://www.claudiagoodell.blogspot.com or http://www.ebsqart.com/Artists/cmd_25095_profile.htm
