The artist in his studio, with
Fence Man, mixed media, glass / wood
    Goodwin started his creative path with painting dance robes, drums
    and steam bent cedar boxes. "Be serious about your art," Steve
    Brown, his friend and a well known artist told him, "and there will be a
    time when you will be always busy". He proved to be right.
    To hone his skills as an artist, John Goodwin apprenticed under the
    renowned northwestern American Indian artist Art Thompson, learning
    more about west coast form line design.
    Soon Goodwin started pulling limited edition
    prints and selling them throughout the
    Northwest and Canada, signing with his
    adult indian name Nytom – "he who walks
    around".
    Nytom ventured further into the different
    mediums of west coast native art and
    started wood carving, glass etching and
    designing jewelry. His work has been shown
    in art galleries throughout North America.
    Currently Nytom works on larger art pieces
    in glass and wood for commission. He has
    limited edition prints for sale as well, please
    contact the artist for more information.
