ARTIST STATEMENT ON THE WORK

I titled this one, “Halcyon Days” and when I shared it with a friend she said it reminded her of a couple from our childhood. They were a pair who seemed to live life like each day was a vacation, soaking in the warmth of their shared existence. Painting them gave me a strong sense of nostalgia for those brief glimpses of what it was like to be in their orbit.

ABOUT MEGAN JAFFE

Megan Jaffe’s work is poetry, literally and figuratively. Entirely self-taught, her technical ability is hard earned over years of dedication to her practice. What stands out the most in each piece is the emotional depth and connection reflected in her subjects. Her advanced degree in literature and her love of poetry are the conceptual underpinnings, often inspired by forgotten narratives within American history and poetry which she collages from books and newspapers. For Jaffe, the hidden elements within her paintings are aligned with the depth and sacred nature of life and all the perspectives one image or phrase can inspire.

Jaffe lives and works in Carlsbad, California, and has exhibited her work in exhibitions in the US and Europe.
