Behind the Art – Howard Goodley’s Story

“Subway Serenade” was brought to life by Howard Goodley, a Bronx-based artist who spent over three decades sketching strangers on the train during his ride from Gun Hill Rd to 34th Street. With a pen in hand and eyes full of empathy, he turned everyday riders into timeless portraits.

Howard started sketching at just 7 years old, capturing the world through a window view in the Bronx. As an adult, he refined his craft during commutes—never intrusive, always intuitive. His silent sketches became powerful tributes to New York’s working-class heartbeat. The man in “Subway Serenade” is faceless but deeply human, reflecting the unspoken emotion that lives in subway corners.

This is more than a canvas—it’s a preserved moment in NYC history.
