USI MAC/Pace Galleries to present Organic + Tattoo: Sculptures by Debbie Goldman

Exhibition proceeds to benefit USI Art and Design department

December 5, 2022

The University of Southern Indiana Kenneth P. McCutchan Art Center/Palmina F. and Stephen S. Pace (MAC/Pace) Galleries are excited to present a special exhibition to conclude the Fall Semester, Organic + Tattoo: Sculptures by Debbie Goldman. The exhibition, on display in the MAC/Pace Galleries in the lower level of the Liberal Arts Center from December 12-19, is a selection of the dozens of artworks Dr. Deborah (Debbie) Goldman has made since 2019.  

She is generously donating all 50 pieces in the exhibition to be sold, with all proceeds benefiting the USI Art and Design department. Each piece has a reserve price and can be shipped to buyers at an additional cost. Additional details are available on the exhibition webpage 

Goldman’s sculptures begin as found objects, wooden roots and tree branches, carefully recovered from shorelines and then cleaned and ornamented with hand-carved marks or paint. Trained as a pediatrician at Indiana University and Washington University in St. Louis, Goldman has no formal training as an artist. She has lived in Evansville since 1982 and has practiced medicine for 36 years.   

A reception for the exhibition will be held at 4 p.m. on Friday, December 16. Live music and refreshments will accompany the reception with time for conversation with the artist.   

The MAC/Pace Galleries are open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday and 1 to 4 p.m. Sundays. For more information, visit the Galleries webpage.
