Bio

Chrys Corn Goodman grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area and attended the Academy of Art in San Francisco and California State University Hayward (now Cal State East Bay) where she studied under Corban LePell and graduated with a B.A. in Fine Art, cum laude. Through LePell’s mentorship, her affinity for realism morphed into a love of figurative abstraction and responding to the work as it evolves, regularly incorporating words or lyrics which so often suggest the meaning behind each piece.

In more recent years, she was introduced to cold wax medium and subsequently to encaustic, which changed the direction of her paintings to include more embedded found objects and gold leaf. Whether primarily oil, encaustic or acrylic, her mixed media works include a balance of drawing, painting and scraping, and combines both representational and abstract elements.

She was also fortunate enough to be mentored in stained glass by Marty Mitchell and Rachel Ward who elevate the craft of glass to an art form.

She takes inspiration from using differing mediums, listening to songwriters, and contemplating memories and emotional and spiritual truths.

Today, she lives and works in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina and is currently represented by the Philip DeAngelo Gallery in Asheville’s River Arts District. She is a founding member of the Autonomous Art Collective, and her other membership affiliations have included International Encaustic Artists, River Arts District Association and Christos. She has exhibited in California, North Carolina, South Carolina, Colorado, Montana, Pennsylvania, Washington DC, Massachusetts, India, and Ireland, and her work is in several private collections.
