Gaffney's Art Blog

Gaffney A. Jarrell was raised in Atlanta, where she studied at the Alliance Theatre Company. She is a self-taught artist. Atlanta knows her as the “Heartist” because of her abstract painted hearts. In 2010 she replaced her hearts with brightly colored abstract landscapes. Gaffney was chosen as “Female Artist of the Year” in 2011 by Belle Magazine. Most recently, Gaffney was included in the book “Artists Among Us”, highlighting 100 of Spartanburg’s local artists.

PAGE 8

Belle Magazine featured me in their August issue as the 'winner' ! The monthly featured piece is known as "Women in Art" and in this publication I just happen to be on page 8. If you don't know what an 8 is than do a little numerology research and get back to me!
Thank you, Belle magazine, I appreciate your recognition!

PRINTS

Originals sold, yet available in prints. Email me for quote.

Lady Di

Fondly named after someone I know, this painting was chosen for the book, "Spartanburg's 100 Artist" available this fall. I originally named it "The big O" and changed it to "Lady Di" out of respect for the book and what it represents....didnt think the big o would go over here in little s....both names reference Diane.
