She earned a B.A. from California State University, Sacramento, and an M.F.A. in studio art from the University of California, Davis, in 1986. Her photographs transform familiar architectural structures and urban environments into compositions emphasizing geometry, color, light and visual relationships. Her series of urban color landscapes examines found architectural abstractions in California cities. Goff joined the faculty of California State University, Sacramento, in 2002, becoming a professor of photography, photography program coordinator and chair of the Department of Design. Now professor emerita, Goff has also served as a juror for regional and national photography exhibitions.
