Goode studied at the Chouinard Art Institute in Los Angeles. He began his career as a painter in the 1950s and 1960s, creating works that combined abstraction and figuration. In the 1960s, he became associated with the Pop Art movement and began incorporating images of everyday objects and popular culture into his work.

In the 1970s, Goode began exploring the potential of light and color as mediums, creating installations and sculptures that played with the ways in which light interacts with different materials and surfaces. He was also associated with the Light and Space movement, which sought to create immersive, sensory experiences through the use of light and space.

Goode has exhibited his work extensively in the United States and Europe, and his work is represented in numerous public and private collections. He has also taught at several art schools, including the University of California, Los Angeles.

Goode continues to work and exhibit his art today, and his innovative approach to painting, sculpture, and installation has made him one of the most important artists of the Pop Art and Light and Space movements.
