About this Artist

Oil and Watercolor painting by CATHY GOODALE available at Columbine Gallery Colorado's Largest Fine Art Source Specialists in Public Art and Home Decor “If you pay attention, art transcends all parts of life and makes the ordinary things in life ‘a painting’. My passion is nature, where everything connects for me. This energy saturates my work.” Cathy Goodale is a dedicated, persistent, and educated artist whose style reflects her individuality. Her career has been filled with painting, teaching and learning. The demand for excellence, painting in oil and watercolor, continues to drive all of her endeavors and her imagination pushes her to paint past ‘artistic safe places’. Growing up in Denver, Colorado, with an early introduction to art classics through her grandmother was instrumental in leading Cathy to Stephens College in Missouri and to a degree in Fine Arts from the University of Northern Colorado. She continued her art training at Denver University, studying commercial art under William Sanderson. Along with art, she has a degree in special education, but this career did not suit her. She knew that art would be her lifelong pursuit. The opportunity to study with the best has been a gift. She has studied with Charles Reid, Richard Schmid, Burt Silverman, Carolyn Anderson and Zolton Szabo, to name a few master artists. The Estes Park resident maintains a busy schedule with monthly workshops at Loveland's Sculpture Depot and in Estes Park. Specific topics include techniques, color, detail and shapes. An established artist in her own right, Goodale's focus is on teaching. The classes typically run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., with plenty of one-on-one instruction. Her teaching allows for travel to plein-air paint, she frequents Colorado, California, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Utah, Nebraska and Wyoming. But has also traveled abroad for workshops in Africa, Mexico, Costa Rica, Ireland, Spain, Italy, France and even Russia. These experiences of different cultures will always be one of her greatest learning and life moments. On one such adventure with 21 fellow artists, they used the subway system in Paris to go to selected locations to paint. Another trip was with internationally known Richard Schmid for two weeks traveling around Italy. Doing portraits of African children was another adventure. On a trip to Russia, Goodale presented a one-woman show.
