Jen Shaffer
February, 2023 — May 2023
As an emerging artist, Shaffer is interested in exploring abstract composition using diverse materials—her current fascination is with contemporary magazines + catalogs mixed with vintage art history book pages. Using her graphic design background, Shaffer creates collages with a focus on strong areas of color with occasional bits of typography and images. She considers the process to be about creating—and solving—a visual puzzle.
