Shela Goodman Tuckerman, Arkansas

Artist Shela Goodman paints impressionist pastoral scenes with graceful refinement. Growing up on a farm in rural Arkansas, she nurtured her love for the beauty of nature. Shela captures these memories in harmonious displays of the environment around her. She was diagnosed with partial cone dystrophy, which closed off her periphery and deterred her ability to see. “In order for me to see a large painting in full, I have to take photos of it while it is in progress to see what the whole painting looks like,” shares Shela. The impairment of her vision only inspired her to paint what she can still perceive. She spent many years in Indiana and Michigan until she returned to Arkansas to care for her parents. Their unused living room became the perfect studio space for Shela, allowing her to grow her creative process while being available for her parents’ needs. As expected from a genealogy buff, she savors time spent with her family. Her other pastimes also include cooking and quilting. Various institutions in the United States have commissioned Shela’s highly favored work.

    Artist Statement

    Shela spent her childhood on a farm in rural Arkansas nurturing her love for the beauty of nature. Many of her paintings are reminiscent of memories from that time. As an adult, she spent many years in Indiana and Michigan until she returned to Arkansas in 2011 to care for her aging parents. Both her parents inspired her to pursue her love of painting and drawing. A formal living room that was hardly used became a perfect studio space allowing Shela to grow her creative process while being available for her parents needs. Although a genetic eye disease has cost her much of her vision, she cherishes and savors what she can see and share with others.
