Neely Goniodsky

Neely Goniodsky was born in Russia and lived in Israel, Canada, the US and UK. Her interest in the art was ignited in childhood, following her mother, artist and stage/puppet designer, around the theater. Side-traced by sciences when starting College, Neely returned full throttle to the arts and hasn’t stopped since. Neely has a BA in animation from Concordia University, Montreal, and an MA from the Royal College of Art, London.

Neely’s multidisciplinary practice encompasses animation, installation, drawing, and collage, with animation at its core. Her notable productions include Conception 2 for The New York Times, The Smiths for Seattle University, and Pearl, a National Film Board of Canada production.

Over the past five years, alongside her animation practice, Neely has become increasingly involved in large-scale public art installations, participating almost annually in Redmond Lights. She also teaches animation at Cornish College of the Arts, where she brings her ongoing practice-based research into the classroom, exploring mixed-media animation, nontraditional approaches to narrative and storytelling, and public art.
