Lindsay Goodwin

A passionate devotee of capturing spontaneous romanticism, Lindsay Goodwin is a treasured discovery among the next generation of fine artists. Lindsay creates gradations of tonal balance on her canvases; equilibriums evident when the viewer recognizes the artful juxtapositions of warms and cools. Her fascination for capturing the historical moment of interiors from Paris to Boston reflects our own human desire for romanticism in our lives and for bringing the elegance of historical splendor into our homes.
Born and raised in Topanga, California, Lindsay had her initial fine art training at O’Neill’s Fine Arts in Malibu. Following instruction under Katie O’Neill, Lindsay enrolled at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco. On her road to a Bachelor of Fine Arts, Lindsay gained invaluable artistic knowledge as a student of Craig Nelson. Lindsay has incorporated Nelson’s utilization of rapid oil studies into her own methodology. She believes that by setting a time limit to her canvas, she sharpens nearly every aspect of her work, including perspective, tonality, and most importantly, atmosphere. During her final semester at the Academy of Art University, Lindsay was chosen as one of the top fifteen emerging artists among her graduating class.
Lindsay’s oil paintings have been featured in numerous national publications, including American Art Collector magazine, Plein Air magazine, the San Francisco Chronicle, and Southwest Art magazine. Lindsay was the winner of the National Oil & Acrylic Painters Society 2019 Best of America Small Painting Exhibition Best Realism for Lamplight at le Vieux Logis (Oil , 14” x 11”).
In 2018, she was awarded the National Oil & Acrylic Painters Society 2018 Best of America Competition Merit Award for Glow of Provence, Avignon (Oil, 30” x 40”).
She was the winner of the Oil Painters of America 2017 National Juried Competition Exhibition Still Life Award of Excellence for Belle Epoque Paris (Oil, 40” x 30”).
Lindsay received an Honorable Mention Award from Oil Painters of America for her painting, Light on Copper, from her 2012 Spring Online Showcase.
In December 2008, Goodwin was showcased in American Art Collector’s largest feature article to date, with an eight-page spread of her solo exhibition that year.
One of her most-sought after recognitions was her inclusion in Southwest Art magazine’s annual “Top 21 Artists under 31” spread in their September 2005 issue.
No longer an emerging artist but an established one with talent she continues to hone, Lindsay’s following also continues to grow.
