Carol Brown Goldberg

Her work has ranged from narrative genre paintings to multi-layered abstractions to realistic portraits to intricate gardens and jungles.

On the one hand, these complex and stunningly beautiful paintings and drawings embody Goldberg's profound meditations on the creative process and the origins of art-making.

These large paintings and smaller drawings propose a procreative and fecund connectedness between nature's forces and artistic activity."

Carol Brown Goldberg's work has been described as "intricate works of science and nature, windows into imagined cosmos, explosions of symbols and letters, and wobbly story book scenes,"[7] as well as "a carnival of color, form and motion, with each painting revealing different elements depending on where in the room you stand to view it.

"[8] Writes Jack Rasmussen, director and curator of the American University Museum at the Katzen Arts Center in Washington, D.C., "Carol is deeply and tirelessly engaged in the pursuit of her muse.

Her art spans the legacy of the Washington Color School and the figurative tradition of American University, where she taught for many years.

"[9] In 2018, Carol Brown Goldberg was honored by Moment Magazine as "visionary artist" alongside Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Jane Mayer as part of the Year of the Woman.

Special projects include a work celebrating the Black Student Fund's 25th anniversary in 1989, The Poetry of Justice for Amnesty International's Human Rights Day in 1990, and in 1996, Solar Night for the Bosnian Human Rights Group of Oxford, England to encourage women's entrepreneurship in Bosnia.
