She won the Royal Academy Gold Medal in 1987, and the BP Portrait Award at the National Portrait Gallery in 2002.[1] Goodman's first solo exhibition was at Cadogan Contemporary Fine Art in London in 1988, with a further three exhibitions there in 1990, 1992 and 1995. She had a solo show at Theo Waddington Fine Art, London in 1997, and took part in a two-person show at Marlborough Fine Art, London, in 2004, with David Dawson In 2006 she was invited to take part in the exhibition Drawing Inspiration, a survey of contemporary drawing in art at the Abbot Hall Art Gallery, Kendal. She then staged a solo exhibition at Marlborough Fine Art, London, in 2008. In 2008 she was also asked to judge Hung, Quartered and Drawn! a drawing competition at the Tower of London in London.[2] Goodman is well known on the London art scene as the Artistic Director of The Prince's Drawing School an independent charitable art school in London's east end.[3] She lives in London and is represented by Marlborough Fine Art in London. She was appointed Lieutenant of the Royal Victorian Order (LVO) in the 2014 Birthday Honours for services to The Prince's Drawing School.[4] Style and InfluencesGoodman's paintings are figurative, in the School of London tradition, showing a strong emphasis on drawing and the physicality of paint. Her subject matter includes portraits, but also interior scenes and city landscapes. Writing on Goodman's winning entry for the 2002 BP Portrait Award at the National Portrait Gallery, a portrait of Father Antony Sutch, Headmaster of Downside School in Somerset, Elizabeth Grice described it as having, 'the quiet authority of an icon'.[5] The portrait took two years to paint, and is typical of Goodman's methodical way of working. In her own words she is a fast painter, she spends 'a very long time on my pictures and I destroy a fair amount.'[5] As well as working directly from life Goodman will work from photographs, but she is an artist who places a great deal of emphasis on drawing skills. 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.".[3] References1. ^{{cite news|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/head-of-art-studio-wins-biggest-portrait-prize-645712.html|author=Louise Jury|title=Head of art studio wins biggest portrait prize|publisher=The Independent|date=18 June 2002}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.hrp.org.uk/NewsAndMedia/Pressresources/tolpressresources/Drawingthenextchapter.aspx|title=Drawing the next chapter in the White Tower’s story|publisher=Historic Royal Palaces|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110901031651/http://www.hrp.org.uk/NewsAndMedia/Pressresources/tolpressresources/Drawingthenextchapter.aspx|archivedate=2011-09-01|df=}} 3. ^1 {{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2005/11/28/style/28iht-fdraw.html|author=Suzy Menkes|title=Prince Charles: Bringing life drawing back from the dead|publisher=The New York Times|date=10 January 2006}} 4. ^{{London Gazette |issue=60895 |date=14 June 2014 |page=b5 |supp=y}} 5. ^1 {{cite news|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/art/3579363/Its-hard-to-be-an-artist-and-have-a-family.html|author=Elizabeth Grice|title=It's hard to be an artist and have a family|publisher=The Daily Telegraph|date=27 June 2002}} Further reading
