BIO

Godley has maintained an art practice since 1980, through Lyn Godley Studio and Godley-Schwan (1984-1998). She has exhibited internationally, with work in numerous museum and private collections. Since 1998, Godley has explored the relationship between art and technology, and its impact on the viewer. Although technology plays a vital role in Godley’s larger work, she continues to work in traditional mediums: oil, watercolor, etc. Also a Professor at Thomas Jefferson University, she studies the impact of immersive art on healing.

I am a multi-media artist whose work has crossed the borders of fine arts, design, and research. The watercolor imagery in the ‘Conflict Zones’ paintings is centered on the duality we encounter in life, seen in the contrast between horizontal bands of different markings and colors. It represents a dialogue between distinct and at times conflicting ideas. These small pieces ask us to look at the spaces between the conflict, the border areas where dialogue can blend differences.
