    Goldie Spieler (active 20th–21st C.)

    From Art Directory Barbados, Dec. 8, 2011 https://issuu.com/corriescott/docs/art_directory_barbados_dec_2011/248:

    "Goldie Spieler was born into a traditional Jewish family in Canada and graduated from the Ontario College of Art and Design. Originally a watercolour and pen-and-ink artist she became dedicated to the cause of preserving the art of pottery making, a 300 year old tradition, in her adopted home of Barbados. She began to work with clay and gradually built up Earthworks Pottery. "There are several layers to the person who chugged through the grunt work who overcame the endless obstacles from pure artist to pragmatic, creative person," Her watercolours are mainly landscape or still life or combinations of both. The colours are clean and bright and alice and brush strokes quick and sure. Since the late 1970's all her works are surrounded by borders that are decorative, but more a further explanation of what is happening within that border. She likes to refer to her works on paper as "painting poetry." "
