Rod Goebel

BIOGRAPHY

Born in 1946, Rod Goebel was a Post-Impressionist painter of landscape, still lifes and figures who made his mark in Taos, New Mexico. After receiving his degree from the University of New Mexico, Goebel studied at the Colorado Institute of Art, graduating with a degree in Advertising Design. He later studied at the Ramon Froman School of Art. 

Goebel was a charter member of the Taos Six Society of Artists along with Ron Barsano, Robert Daughters, Walt Gonske, Julian Robles and Ray Vinella. 

In 1979, Goebel was elected to the National Academy of Western Art. His work has been shown at The Museum of the Southwest, Midland, Texas; Museum of Fine Arts, New Mexico; The National Cowboy Hall of Fame and the Western Heritage Center, Oklahoma; the Museum of New Mexico, Albuquerque; Philbrook Museum, Tulsa, Oklahoma; the Museum of Northern Arizona, Flagstaff; and, in corporate and private collections throughout the country including Wells Fargo Bank, New York and The Southland Corporation, Dallas. 

Goebel had eleven one-man shows. Profiles of Goebel appeared in "Southwest Art" and "Artists of the Rockies". He died in 1993.

He once said, "I have since childhood felt a longing for the ocean and shore which is positively mystical. Since the mid-70's, I made many trips yearly to paint the California coastline or particularly the area around the Monterey peninsula, where 'Carmel Coast' was painted one misty, mysterious day in November. Every painting I do of the sea is different because the moods of the sea and sky are never the same."
