Artist Spotlight: Veronica Goin

The love for art and the talent to make one’s visions come to life are two qualities that many people are either born with, built with practice, time, and effort over time, or the combination of both.

Here at Pace, there are several courses designed to nurture and expand the creative talents of students. Some students choose to take their art work to the next level and pursue a degree.

Veronica Goin has been an artist for a long time and has worked hard to constantly challenge herself to perfect her craft. A senior here at Pace, Goin is a major in both art and English with a concentration in literature.

“I have loved art since I was a child,” Goin said. “Both my mother and grandmother are very artistic. My grandmother painted on everything she could get her hands on, and was amazingly talented with no formal training.”

Growing up in an environment where art was valued, Goin was able to explore a plethora of mediums in the art industry.

From drawing with mechanical pencils in her notebook to painting and blending colors with the beautiful colors of paints, the young artist has discovered her favorite type of art is drawing and painting. She especially enjoys the use of acrylic paints.

“My favorite medium is acrylic paint, but I couldn’t begin to say why. It’s sort of like when someone asks you what your favorite color is. It’s red, or purple, or green, because it just is,” Goin said.

Goin has been enrolled in many art courses including painting, watercolor, life drawing, and art history, which are some of her favorite classes in her major. She loves the artistic works of Vincent Van Gogh, James Jean, H.R. Giger, and Jacek Yerka. Additionally, she admires many animation artists such as Don Bluth and Walt Stanchfield.

Along with her many art courses, Goin has taken several English courses for her major.

“I first came to know Veronica Goin as a student in two of my classes in the spring of 2012,” said assistant professor of English Dr. Deborah Poe.  “Veronica emerged as a leader in both classes. She took an active role in discussion, possessed thoughtful and mature responses to texts, and produced innovative, sophisticated writing and art work in response to those texts.”

Dr. Poe continued by stating that “Veronica is able to express her own ideas and is resourceful in generating those ideas, combining creativity and analysis in interesting ways. I judge this to be one of the most intellectually powerful dances currently available.”

Goin decided to pursue a degree in art because of her love of the field and because she knew she would always be drawing and painting anyway.

Goin grew up in Sleepy Hollow, New York with three younger siblings. She attended The Masters Prep School in Dobbs Ferry where she graduated in 2006.  Goin enjoys many other things in life such as cooking to meet her vegetarian diet, hiking, and watching movies. She has been published several times in the VOX Literary Magazine on campus. Her art work will also be appearing in a gallery art show on campus in December.
