For painter Chrys Corn Goodman, creating art is an act of discovery—uncovering beauty, mystery and truth one stroke at a time.
“I try to discover what I am painting as I paint it,” she says. “My work is mostly abstracted human forms with vivid colors and words that capture meaning.”
Born in the San Francisco Bay Area, Goodman grew up surrounded by the towering Redwoods and the Pacific’s quiet power. She studied fine art at the Academy of Art in San Francisco and California State University East Bay, where realism gave way to her love of figurative abstraction.
