“I create art because it feels good, and it centers my restless, crazy mind. I feel like I am where I am supposed to be whenever I am drawing. There is a certain meditative quality in the redundant gestures and sounds of pencil scratching on paper. My art work depicts the inverse relationship of my desires and dreams with my restless nature and wickedness."
The art work of Jami Goddess features sensual, sexy women that display an implicit, haunting emotion, overcoming adversity and pain but with a touch of macabre sarcasm. The female figures have been described as dark and surreal; one reviewer went as far as calling the women she creates post-apocalyptic pinups.
She also illustrated and designed all the label art work for Leucadia Red, a private wine label (www.leucadiared.com), of which she is also the co-owner and brand manager. The wine is being sold at wine bars up and down the coast of California. She has recently teamed up with the Satin Dollz, Hollywood's own USO pin-up entertainment troupe to combine live and still art into a fabulous event coming soon to Los Angeles. Her work is displayed all over the San Diego area and in New York City. Check out her website at www.goodgoddess.net.
