"Goldie is an exciting surrealist on the global rise. With design forward instincts, her art is thought provoking, conceptual and commands attention in any room"
Born and raised in Canada, Goldie competed as a provincial and multi-sport athlete. Her athletic career was temporarily derailed when she developed a debilitating case of scoliosis and had her spine reconstructed in her late teens.
Despite rehabilitating incredibly well, she continued thinking her athletic career was over, so she focused on the arts and imagined spending her entire career there.
She moved to Toronto and was asked to audition for the CFL Toronto Argonauts. She made the team and continued to build her on-camera resume, modelling fitness products and landing national and international commercials.
While performing on camera, she had always felt a deeper calling to create and make exciting beautiful things. Always drawing, painting, designing and editing.
She built her creativity and aesthetic sensibility as a professional photographer, and had the good fortune of shadowing and working alongside some of the world's best cinematographers.
While entrenched in Film & TV she was unexpectedly met with a career shifting decision. Although it was a very unlikely path for someone with a scoliosis repair, she became one of North America's leading Stunt Women; Stunt doubling leads and performing on over 80 TV & Film projects, including The Umbrella Academy, The Expanse, Suicide Squad, Dark Matter, Designated Survivor, Ransom and many more.
Despite loving the career, the adrenaline, performing with precision under intense pressure, and working with some of 'Hollywood's' best, the potential fragility of her body always loomed. The threat of it ever present, as she witnessed her aging colleagues hobble through movie sets while waiting for replacement body parts.
While never a stranger to 70 Hr work weeks, given the intensity of TV and film schedules, she began directing more of her time to the arts.
In 2022, she developed an immersive art venue concept called Goldie's Museum. A 3000sq ft dreamy, purpose built photo-op venue for 'it' girlies and bachelorettes to escape reality and spend time in "girl heaven" while sipping Mimosas.
After three years, she felt she had built a dream business... a gorgeous facility, amazing clients, great workflow, impressive margins, incredible client satisfaction and retention... and while investors clamoured to collaborate and buy in, she was ready to move on and spread her wings for the next level... keeping her brand pristine, well-respected, and ultimately her own.
Goldie's Museum was her proving ground, an in-practice MBA. She learned that she could conceive and flawlessly execute a successful high-concept business model. She could build something so exciting and immersive that people would travel from afar, organize, co-ordinate and purchase attire in advance to match the aesthetic and participate in her work. She also learned that her art had the power to inspire and make people truly happy!
She's since had the pleasure of collaborating with major luxury brands
