“Her signature style of gestural washes featuring featureless figures remains part of her oeuvre, although she now gives her images a new vigor and better defined sense of space. Goldsmith branches out to do some abstractions inspired by gardens and still lifes and even studio clutter. Several quasi-oriental abstractions reveal a sensitive regard for arrangement. Using black, beige-on-white paper with a single, bright color accent, she turns ambiguous spatial relationships into a strength, her gestural control elegantly freewheeling and only hinting at identifiable imagery. The vivid color focal point, loosely recognized as grapes, apples or some other fruit or vegetable, serves as an off center pivot to the composition.”
