Valerie Goodwin

April 21, 2018 by Rita

Home: Tallahassee, Florida, USA

Author of Art Quilt Maps available through C&T Publishing, Valerie S. Goodwin is an artist who began designing and making quilts in 1998. Her work uses architectural elements such as built form, city planning, and mapping as inspiration. These pieces usually focus on the geometrical relationships, patterns and ordering principles found in architecture.
Valerie has taught workshops nationally and internationally, including Australia, Canada, & Switzerland. These classes focus on the creation of fiber art maps, design thinking, and mixed media techniques. Workshops include MAP PLAY, MAPPING PERSONAL PLACES, FAVORITE PLACES, MAP HAIKU, & MONO-PRINTED MAP COLLAGE.
She also offers several lectures and trunk shows. Her workshops can be done virtually or in-person.
She is a retired Professor of Architecture at Florida A & M University’s School of Architecture; she was educated at Yale University and Washington University in St. Louis. Her work has been exhibited locally, nationally, and internationally. Selected venues include Quilt National, Art Quilts at Sedgwick, and Visions.
Student Comment:
I have attended many workshops and classes at locations such as Arrowmont, Penland and Split Rock and I state that Valerie’s course was one of the strongest workshops I have experienced. Because of the fact that her workshops increase the participants’ sensitivity  to the development of composition as well as mixed media quilting techniques, I would gladly recommend her workshops to friends, students, and colleagues!
