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.

Power of the Word

A good reminder that we can choose to live or mope around...in essence...die... or we can pull ourselves up by our boot straps, as they say....whoever "they" are. A loss of anything whether it is a love, job or anything sucks, but we can use that creative energy and turn it into something positive and productive. Hey, what a concept!
I did the piece above using recycled and hand made paper (notice the texture) and recycled paint. 11"x14" -SOLD

Celebration and Cowboy Sunset
Here are two paintings and that are very different. Celebration started out as something else...you can see the blue in the background. I was having a hard day and feeling somewhat frustrated. My technique of using the trowel to scrape away my lost love gave me a reason to celebrate the freedom in knowing that time heals.
Cowboy sunset is actually a beach scene on a somber, gloomy day. The mist and rain gave it an overall casting of green and gray. I beefed it up with some orange and blue and it became what appeared to me a cowboy range....ride em cowboy!
