Life Stories with Steffi Goddard

Many years ago Steffi Goddard and her husband stumbled upon a large old farmhouse in Andalucia, Southern Spain called Cortijo Las Salinas and from there on a love affair with the house, the country, the traditions and the people of Spain began.

A major restoration project was necessary to turn the former run down rural farmhouse into the exceptional and spectacular rural villa it is today.  Steffi can often be seen out on location complete with paint, brushes and canvas and her studio doubles up as her gallery where her paintings of the local landscape are displayed and are for sale.  Steffi writes a blog about art, yoga, Marmite and living in rural Spain.  Throughout the year, Cortijo las Salinas hosts creative and wellbeing courses and holidays - painting, yoga and much more.

Steffi continues to paint and has an amazing art studio and most of her paintings are created in the studio or out on location. Steffi’s career in art now spans over 30 years, and she has an accomplished list of private and corporate collectors. Steffi has also collaborated on corporate installations, organised many art projects for schools, art groups and has led fundraising art projects for charity events, in particular the British Heart Foundation and The Eve Appeal. Now she paints on a daily basis and creates art workshops for anyone who wants to experience the freedom of painting and the joy of creativity nourishing the soul in the warm sunshine.
