Jolande Goldberg specializes in
garden sculpture, water features, and architectural elements
for landscapes and garden settings. She perceives water as
an integral design component of her work. The theme of her
work is Fountains - the elegant reminiscence of the artistic
European garden tradition. In our shrinking environment, the
visual quality of space becomes increasingly important. Water
and fountains add to that visual quality as an integral part
of landscape and garden design. Customized fountains in bronze,
ceramic, and stone for intimate garden settings have become
her hallmark.
Goldberg accepts commissions from private
clients and landscape designers (See Commissions Page).
Goldberg publishes and lectures widely
in the U.S. and Europe on the aesthetic aspects of art as
it relates to nature. As a promoter of garden art, she has
conducted seminars, courses and symposia panels for the Smithsonian
Resident Associate Program, Museum for Women in the Arts,
Botanical Gardens, Horticultural Societies, and for landscape
architect groups. Her work has been exhibited internationally
and widely reviewed and published in the media, such as Time-Life
Books, Brooklyn Botanical Garden Record, Ceramics Monthly,
and in European professional Art Magazines.
She was born in Germany and educated and
trained as lawyer and artist at the Universities of Munich
and Heidelberg; Goldsmith College, School of Art and Design,
London; and Georgetown University. She is a charter member
of the Torpedo Factory Art Center, Alexandria, Virginia, and
has served many years on the Board of Directors of the Friends
of the TFAC. Her legal scholarship is applied in her daily
work for the Library of Congress where she is nationally recognized
as designer of classification systems for foreign and international
law. Her biography is included in Marqui's Who's Who in American
Women and in the Dictionary of International Biography.
