LISA GOEDERT - I try to achieve the same simple beauty of haikus in my paintings.
Lisa Goedert takes her inspiration from scientific line-drawings and mathematical illustrations. She loves the simple beauty of the Line. While she mostly works in an automatism fashion, she will later “go back in” and labor over capturing a certain rhythm to a line. Its thickness, curvature, and relationship to other forms are crucial in her work. Goedert also communicates using organic forms. Ovals and circles can symbolize the smallest of stones to the greatness of the cosmos. Seedy-like sprays of dashes and dots also add a visual rhythm and vibration. Goedert grew up near grassy fields with reedy ponds. These natural forms feel like math to her. Goedert enjoys the mysteries of the sea, space, and forest, and is inspired by the many patterns found in nature like those on a bird’s plumage, or the way tree branches cut across the sky. She does not need a great deal to tell her story working rather minimally. Her work is about energy. And she claims that when she works, she feels as though she is unlocking some sort of ancient memory and perhaps a bit of the little mysteries found in nature. Her hope is that she makes art that conveys a tranquility and wonderment of this life. Goedert works from a luminous and whimsical place. She has a profound respect for nature and its many forces, be they majestic or playful.
I work in a nature theme. My symbols are abstractions of my ideas about energy and the symbiotic relationships of mass to mass. These symbols relate back to things such as rocks, planets, plants, paramecium, hills, and the explosion of birth and seeds: the promise of renewal on Earth.-LG

Ferndale, Michigan based artist Lisa Goedert is inspired by patterns found in nature. She works spontaneously using circles, scribbles, dots, dashes, and lots of rhythmic lines. She manages to create works that are both bounding in playfulness, yet hold a certain transcendental, calm minimalism about them. Goedert earned a BFA at Wayne State University and is a vocalist and lyricist for the Detroit band, the Luddites.
