OUR CARVER
Paulina Goff
With over 25 years of self-taught artistry, our sculptures and designs are hand crafted by Paulina Goff, a youthful, driven, professional artist who creates wonders from the most unsuspecting mediums.
Originally sharing her art as a professional pumpkin artist under the name Pumpkins by Paulina rooted in San Jose, California, she decided to redesign her experiences to more closely match her passion and what inspires her artistic style, filling energy and excitement into every design created at CarvedFX.
Inspired by practical effects and films of the 80’s and 90’s, Paulina took her passion for prop, movie set designs, and special effects and partnered them with her talent and love for Halloween and pumpkins. Together they provide experiences unlike anywhere seen with opportunity to be shared with all themes, holidays, and celebrations.
When Paulina is not sculpting into the hours of the night, she’s out on adventures with her two amazing children (Trenton age 3, and Sabriel age 2) and her best friend and husband (Trent). Creating memories and sharing laughs with her family are what she lives for and why creating and performing art that cultivates excitement and memories in others is the true mission of CarvedFX.
ADVOCACY
Growers and Community
In addition to a strong passion for bringing others joy through her art, Paulina supports community advocacy for multiple non-profits and causes, and the local giant pumpkin growers and farmers.
As in integral and exciting part of the pumpkin carving community, Paulina has strong relationships with California and USA giant pumpkin farmers. She joins the growers meets and attends as many local weigh offs as able. The passion, support, and family feel with these growers keeps her eager to stay connected and help them find the right home for the pumpkins they put so much work into growing.
As part of the community, Paulina fundraises and contributes to local and national non-profit organizations through out the year. As part of her business, every year she supports fundraising efforts with her artistry and participation in events with her art, donating live sculpting experiences, custom auction pieces, and gift certificates.
Some of the organizations she supports:
Alzheimer’s Association of Silicon Valley, Get Your Rear In Gear SF Bay Area, Second Harvest of Silicon Valley Food Bank, National Marrow Donor Program (FKA Be The Match), Pink Patch Project, Valley Monte League, and more.
