Veryl Goodnight: Sled Dogs in America: Alaska & Beyond

Veryl Goodnight: Sled Dogs in America: Alaska & Beyond

Opening July 17, 2024

A Colorado native, Veryl Goodnight’s career started as a wildlife painter in the early 1970’s. She began sculpting to educate herself about anatomy. Sculpture then dominated her career throughout the late 1900’s while she and her husband, Roger Brooks, lived in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Their 2006 move back to Colorado intensified her desire to return to oil painting. Veryl has completed over 200 sculptures and 20 life size or larger monuments. All of these works have reflected her Western roots.

Veryl Goodnight: Sled Dogs in America: Alaska & Beyond will include props used to create the art and historic text to share the little-known story of the many roles sled dogs and their drivers have had in American history.
