Rae Mahaffey

I have thought of myself as an artist since childhood. My education was in art, and my early employment was in art museums, galleries and for prominent artists.

For nearly 40 years I have sustained an active studio practice, and regularly exhibited work. I have completed public art projects in Colorado, Oregon, Texas, and Washington. Museums, universities, and corporations throughout the country have my work in their collections.

While working as an artist I have also been operating a collaborative print workshop with my husband, Master Printer, Mark Mahaffey. For nearly 30 years we have worked with over 200 international, national and regional artists making fine art prints.

Currently, we have taken up the snow-bird life, splitting our time between the Sonoran desert, and the North Oregon coast. I feel fortunate to have access to such beautiful, natural diversity, and I am using it to inspire my current creative output.
