ARTIST STATEMENT ON THE WORK

I conceived of this painting while visiting Florida with my daughter for one of her surgeries. The heat was heavy so I spent the middays painting while she slept. I found a wonderful poem by Derek Walcott titled, “Midsummer, Tobago” that I felt grabbed its essence. Often I read a poem and then find inspiration from there to paint, but this one I stumbled across after I had painted this piece and it fit so perfectly for the scene and the moment I was in. I love the last line: “days I have held, days I have lost, days that outgrow, like daughters, my harboring arms.”

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.
