Two pieces in book to honor Oprah Winfrey


In A Time, A Season - A Visual Tribute to Oprah Winfrey, Janelle Dowell-Publisher of Black Art in America, recently published a book to celebrate the creative life of Oprah Winfrey. I was honored to be one of many artists whose work was chosen for the book.

It features artists from across the country (and the Bahamas). This book will be presented to Oprah Winfrey herself. Awesome...... The art inside is inspiring!

Hot off the Press......

Quilting Arts February/March 2011
"See how Valerie Goodwin creates collaged art maps using fabric, paint, and thread."

If you recall, a few months back I developed a matrix of goals for myself. Writing and publishing an article in a widely read magazine for definitely one of my goals.

So I hope you'll buy the latest Quilting Arts magazine and take a look at my article!

I Got Tagged


I'm IT. Well not that kind of IT, but I was tagged by Mary, who was tagged by Lisa. Then Mary tagged me. So check out Mary's blog and see what great things that she is doing. And while you are there, don't forget to see who else she has tagged and take a peek at all her followers and followees. What fun to discover exciting new and creative bloggers.

Since I was so honored, I'm going to continue to share the award and name some fellow blogger friends who I'm sure would love your company also.

If you choose to participate, the rules are:

1. Tell who tagged you.

2. Add a link to their blog.

3. Award 3-5 bloggers who you think deserve this award.

Inform them & post directions to your blogspot.

Please don't tag people who already have 300 followers.

The goal of this award is get more publicity to blogs that are good, but not so well known.

So in the spirit of the award, I am tagging Marion, Liz and Rayna! hope you will check out their blogs and enjoy them as much as I do! They are wonderfully talented artists.
