Maria Simonds-Gooding
Maria Simonds-Gooding was born in India in 1939 and studied at the National College of Art, Dublin, Le Centre de Peinture, Bruxelles, Bath Academy of Art, Corsham, UK from 1962 1968 and has lived and worked in Kerry since 1947. She was elected a member of Aosdαna in 1981 and was elected full membership of the Royal Hibernian Academy in 2012. In 1985 the artist mounted a substantial exhibition at the Crawford Municipal Gallery, Cork where she presented work from 1965-1985. Following this show Simonds-Gooding returned to using oil applied thinly and directly to paper using vibrant colours to describe the bog landscape which had become a central theme at this point in her career. These works, executed over a two year period from 1985-1987, culminated in exhibitions in London at the Solomon Gallery (1986) and the Taylor Galleries, Dublin, 1987.
