The artist will showcasing her silver pendants, leather cuffs and earrings all made to capture the \u201cperfection of imperfection\u201d at a reception in Mancos this week at the Goodnight Trail Gallery of Western Art.<\/p>\n
Goodall returned to the art world three years ago after seeing the chunky beaded jewelry at the national ranch rodeo in Nevada inspired her to get back into art.<\/p>\n
From the chunky necklaces, her work evolved to include high-quality turquoise and hand-molded silver clay pendants and beads. Molding the clay drew on her prior experience from college in Florida, where she had majored in art, mainly sculpting and painting.<\/p>\n
After she moved to Colorado about 20 years ago, she left art to become a massage therapist. Now she lives on a ranch in the Cortez area with her family and the ranch life and style has become part of her identity.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt kind of oozes into your pores,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Goodall spent two years perfecting her jewelry and building clientele before she left massage therapy to pursue art fulltime.<\/p>\n
She used Etsy, an online marketplace for handmade work, to both build her clientele and discover new ideas to try.<\/p>\n
\u201cEverything is in evolution,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Through the Internet, she met a vendor interested in selling her work at reining and cutting competitions. She started to meet a demand for custom necklaces and bracelets with individual brands from specific ranches.<\/p>\n
The silver she uses to make the custom necklaces forms a clay that can be rolled very thin and then stamped and shaped before it is placed in a kiln to be fired or hardened. Then Goodall oxydizes the silver to turn it black and sands it bring out a shine while leaving the black oxydation in the creases.<\/p>\n
\u201cBlack gives it depth and dimension,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
The Goodnight Trail Gallery will display a case of Goodall\u2019s art for the foreseeable future. The gallery will be thinning its selection of traditional Navajo jewelry to add Goodall\u2019s work and a different flavor to gallery.<\/p>\n
Jamie Bade, one of the owners of the gallery, thought Goodall\u2019s trendy, fun, bright, work would have a wide appeal. Bade also appreciates that Goodall is able to bring her unique style to the current trends.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe\u2019s this perpetual student, she is always growing and changing, which I love about her,\u201d Bade said.<\/p>\n
Goodall\u2019s show is also February\u2019s Mancos Cash Mob, a monthly event where everyone is encouraged to spend at least $20 at a business selected by the Mancos Chamber of Commerce.<\/p>\n
