KEN GOODMAN ARTIST ____________________________________________
				Born in Southern Indiana, Ken Goodman spent a large part of his childhood on his grandparents’ farm in Dugger.  Perhaps due to his Native American heritage (Potawatomi and Miami), he has always revered the land and wildlife.  This is reflected in his paintings of landscapes, flowers, and animals. Mr. Goodman studied art at the Chicago Art Institute.  In addition, he has studied independently and with several noted artists. He is a member of Artists and Crafters of Porter County (Chesterton Art League), Tall Grass Arts Association, South Shore Arts Association, Wilmette Arts Guild, and Indianapolis Art Center.  He serves on the Board of Directors of Chesterton Art Center.

His paintings hang in several public buildings and in numerous private collections.  One of his
paintings was selected to be shown in the Indiana Governor's Residence as part of the First
Lady's Arts Series.  

Mr. Goodman teaches painting and drawing classes for adults and children in his studio and at
various area locations.  He has taught in the Hobart Parks Department’s Art-in-the-Park
Program, the Northern Indiana Arts Association Outreach Program, and at the Chesterton Art
Center.  

He feels that art can and should be enjoyed by everyone and that anyone with interest and
talent should have access to education and training in the arts.  To this end, he recently
opened a studio/gallery in the Calumet Township area of Northwest Indiana.

Creator of original representational art in acrylics and oils.
