From Valley House Gallery:
“In Miles Cleveland Goodwin’s soulful compositions, he shows us the essential and mystical nature of the people, animals, and land around him. He says, “I want to paint things that have a spiritual integrity—paintings that show the truths of life.” Through his deeply intuitive paintings, Goodwin metaphorically speaks to our fundamental nature, in all of its heartbreak, wonderment, and everyday beauty.
Miles Cleveland Goodwin says:
“In this show, Country Folk, I have put together a group of paintings of the people, places, and fantasies I see in my daily life in southern Appalachia. It’s important to me to convey a sense, despite political or cultural differences, of a unity between the subject(s) and myself. Something or someone does not cease to be beautiful because it differs from one’s self. Most of the things I interact with deal with poverty, and the beauty that comes from making due. In painting them I create a monument to them.”
Miles Cleveland Goodwin was born in Biloxi, Mississippi, and spent his youth in the South. He earned his BFA at Pacific Northwest College of Art in Portland, Oregon. He currently lives and works in Georgia. This is his fifth solo exhibition at Valley House Gallery.”
