Biography

For the past twenty years Rebecca Goodale has been creating a series of artist’s books about Maine’s rare plants and animals. Recently she has been revisiting her training as a textile designer by employing that aesthetic and various printmaking techniques to create large scale repeatable patterns. Rebecca has taught Book Arts and Design at the University of Southern Maine for 4 decades. Her work is in many collections including the Maine Women Writers Collection at UNE, Bowdoin College Library, Herron Art Library at IUPUI, Boston Athenaeum, Yale University, Harvard University, the Library of Congress, and the Portland Museum of Art.

Visiting Artist

If you are interested in reaching out to me about the possibility of having me give a lecture, workshop or critique at your institution please feel free to contact me by email at goodale@maine.edu. I enjoy working with people of all ages including college and university students, classroom teachers (workshops), artists, and children. And on occasion I teach privately in my studio.

I am also available for longer visiting artist programs.
