Catherine Goodman

Catherine Anne Goodman CBE LVO (born 1961) is an English artist, and co-founder with King Charles III of the Royal Drawing School.

Goodman sees her role as an educator as being integral to her artistic identity and in 2000 she co-established the Royal Drawing School with HM King Charles III , to address the increasing absence of observational drawing in art education.

[6] She was appointed Lieutenant of the Royal Victorian Order (LVO) in the 2014 Birthday Honours for services to the Royal Drawing School[7] and Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 2024 New Year Honours for services to art.

In her own words she is a fast painter, she spends 'a very long time on my pictures and I destroy a fair amount.

She has described this as an essential part of art, as the means for "recreating from life a three-dimensional reality on a two-dimension space.".
