artist profile: hope goodall

From the Creativity Explored studio in San Francisco—a nonprofit visual arts center where artists with developmental disabilities create, exhibit and sell art—comes a quirky watercolored menagerie by artist Hope Goodall.

Born in St. Louis in 1965, she made art at Creativity Explored for these past 20 years—sadly, Hope passed away earlier this year.

In 2010, Goodall completed a series of self-portraits—similar to other figurative works such as these seven critters—composed of loose lines layered with washes of muted color.

Furry friends frolic…hedgehogs and cats cohabitate with a bear, a mouse and a dog…as Hope’s memory lives on.

Cute art creation! So sad she can no longer make another awesome design like that. Such a loss.
