Valerie Goodwin is a mixed media fiber artist and architect, whose works of fine art are included in museum and private collections. Most of her work is inspired by a love of aerial views of landscapes and cities. Many of her quilts are based on maps. Goodwin’s art has moved through various stages from traditional quilting to an interest in abstract expressionism and, currently, it is inspired by real and imaginary landscapes and cities.
In some cases, her work shows an architectural sense of space with an archeological perspective. In others the network of the city and its built form is more prominent. Valerie received degrees in architecture from Washington University and Yale University.
