Biography

Louise Goodman (artist) Louise Goodman Navajo Potters

A member of the Biih Bitoodnii (Deer Spring) clan, Goodman learned pottery making from her sister-in-law, Lorena Bartlett. Her range of work includes standard jars and bowls produced in a wide variety of shapes including a significant amount of animal forms such as chickens, rams, dogs, squirrels, bears, lions, elephants, and other domestic and wild creatures. One of the most innovative styles of pottery Goodman developed is a modified coil pot, one in which the coils are obliterated only on the interior surface.

Goodman's work has been exhibited at the Museum of Northern Arizona in Flagstaff, Arizona, the Heard Museum in Phoenix, the Wheelwright Museum of the American Indian in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and the Navajo Nation Museum in Window Rock, Arizona.
