ARTIST STATEMENT ABOUT THIS WORK
“Cheyenne” 36x36 oil on canvas. While I may live by the ocean I continue to be inspired by those who lived on the great frontier, especially the cowgirls. By the 1870s women homesteaders took on chores previously done only by men to farm and ranch on the land. Women rode horses, and roped cattle. In Wyoming, women could even vote and hold office. While I’m not surprised - due to her maverick spirit - turns out my daughter is a cowgirl. Because she now lives in Colorado, riding mustangs in wild events, painting these scenes is not only a way for me to celebrate the essence of pioneering women but also a way to keep my daughter close to home and to my heart.

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.
