Artist Bio: Georgeanne Gaffney creates paintings in multiple subject matters ranging from portraits to landscapes. Working from photographs that are a “snap shot of a moment in time”, her pieces translate intimate observations expressed in subtle shadows and dappled light. Layers of paints and glazes, rich in color and texture, result in dreamy, romantic and contemplative works that have an aged and atmospheric effect. Originally from Baltimore MD, Georgeanne graduated with a BS, in Painting and Drawing, from Towson University. She currently lives in Saranac Lake, NY, in the Northern Adirondacks and is inspired by the lush and dramatic environment.
