Janis
Goodman has worked as a printmaker in Yorkshire for the last
fifteen years.
Much of her work has been produced in printmaking classes at
Leeds College of Art and Design and she has recently set up
her own etching studio . Originally trained in Architecture,
much of her work is focused on the structure of inner city Leeds,
where she now lives. She is as fascinated by the repetitive
patterns formed
by roofs, walls and chimney pots as by plants, birds and trees.
An interest in texture and mark making gives her work its strength,
beyond the simply illustrative. The prints have been described
as "witty, touching and very desirable."
Her work is exhibited in a wide range of galleries and exhibitions,
within Yorkshire and beyond! She has had a solo show at Leeds
Craft and Design Gallery, has appeared in the Leeds Art Fair,
at the Manor House Gallery, Ilkley and at Skipton Cattle Mart.
Her work has been included in Leicester Print Workshop's "Small
Print, Big Impression, in the 6th International Miniature Print
Exhibition, "Applause in the Print" at Rye Art Gallery,
"Multiplicities" in Edinburgh, Sunny Green Days in
Masham and "Summer Prints" in Hebden Bridge.
The website is intended as a point of contact for people who
may wish to commission work directly; a permanent gallery for
sales of her limited edition prints and hand-made cards ; and
a stimulating set of images for people intrigued by the complex
processes of printmaking.
