Bodice Of The Goddess-The
Secret Life Of The Hudson
I have been working on this
series of mixed media
paintings since January of
2009. In “Bodice Of The
Goddess- the Secret Life of
the Hudson River”, I give
liberal license to the stories
behind the histories, myths
and legends of the Hudson
River exploring the playful
and vengeful sides of the
River Goddesses of the Hudson.
It is the interaction of
Goddess affections and
jealousies, in play with
Earth, water and the human
world that puts the viewer as
witness to the wave action and
radical weather phenomena
unveiling before their eyes.
The way I interpret it, River
Goddess lore has us believe
that it is Diva like
temperamental female whims of
self indulgence that create an
emotional response that is
reflected back into the river
creating the constantly
changing waves and sudden and
glorious storms that brew over
the Hudson. What we as humans
perceive is not the true
intentions of the Goddesses,
for Goddesses do as they
please and play with all the
elements as mere toys. Even
Kipsy, the Hudson River’s own
mythical version of the Loch
Ness monster is a ...

| Biggest Artistic Inspiration |
The Hudson River is my biggest artistic inspiration. It isn't just the incredible light in this region. It's the history as well. It's rich for imagery, stories to create with and in our present day, is a microcosm for bigger global implications in the environment. |

Carla Goldberg Bio
EDUCATION:
1989 M.F.A. Maryland Institute, College of Art (MICA)-Mount Royal Graduate School of Art (Studied under Babe Shapiro & Salvatore Scarpitta)
1987-B.A. University of Redlands, California. Studio Art Honors/Art History (studied under John Nava & John Brownfield.
CARLA GOLDBERG is originally from Palm Springs, California. She’s a So Cal Desert Rat who has called the Hudson Valley home since 1990. She graduated with honors from the University of Redlands, CA. and earned her MFA from MICA-Mount Royal Graduate School of Art in Baltimore, MD. She is a current member of bau gallery (Beacon Artists Union), a contributing member of the Beacon Art Salon and a council member of the international coalition of artists known as Mirca Art Group. She also started Insight Gallery in Cold Spring, New York for the summer of 2009 that focused on artists of the Hudson Region. Additionally she has created large group shows and projects. Among these include the Centennial Celebration for the University of Redlands covering 8 decades of living alumni artists and the “Freedom & Art project” which still raises funds for Amnesty International in support of Nobel Peace Prize winner, Aung San Suu Kyi of Burma. The project received coverage from the BBC Radio Free Asia and many other international news entities.
It is the Hudson’s imagery, history, lore and river science that inspires and informs Carla's art. Her explorations into textures through non-traditional techniques, the play of light seen behind transparent surfaces and references to water are recurring themes. Her layering of materials alludes to an evolution of events as if they are being seen in the context of archeology or discovery in watery depths and cracked earth. Carla sees her work as mapping the unseen. Her passion for the Hudson River has spurred her to use art to educate the public about the ecosystem and science of the Hudson River through her imagery.
Her work has been featured in solo and group shows nationally and internationally in galleries, universities and museums. Her work can be found in public spaces and corporate collections.
