As a young adult, Bobbie Goodrich studied classical ballet, later shifting her interest to visual arts. In 1990, after moving to Colorado, she began to exhibit her paintings, generally depicting views of the American West. Needing photographic reference for her inspiration, she began to photograph her subjects as well. At her first show, she exhibited her paintings accompanied by photographic references and quickly discovered that it was in fact her photography that received attention and praise and which was thereafter to become her focus. She has frequently been praised for the “painterly” quality of her photographs and has delved deeper into the skills and tricks of fine art photography. She now uses 35mm digital cameras and imposes creative techniques she has developed using Adobe Photoshop software, thus fusing technology and photography to create the ultimate fine art image. Bobbie Goodrich lives in America, dividing her time between Arizona and Colorado.
