Affiliated Artist    Rae Mahaffey    Portland painter Rae Mahaffey's recent work is an investigation into abstract environments. Using pattern, color and geometric forms as symbols for the systems we use to make sense of our lives, she layers her paintings, overlapping, veiling and sometimes obliterating information. The resulting forms and layers act as the carrier of the works content. The result of this is an increasingly complex psychedelic and original body of work.
