Your art work is amazing! I enjoyed seeing it. Love the details
Maureen's 'Walking in the rain' is truly distinctive, evoking fond memories of the calm and tranquil scenes of monsoon from childhood. Words cannot adequately express the feelings and passion that are embodied in all her work. Rock on Maureen!
Maureen is a true Calabasas treasure. Her incredible work is permanently on display in our Library and Civic Center. We are so proud to have her and Steve as part of our Calabasas community.
Maureen, it has been my/our pleasure meeting you and Steve and experiencing what giving, wonderful people you both are. When we first learned of your artistic talents, never did we dream that your art would have such a prominent place not only in the City of Downey’s History, but also in the City and County of Roscommon, Ireland.
Bob and I were honored to be part of the delegation in the twinning of the two cities, and the two portraits that you painted of John Gately Downey, which now hang prominently in the Cities of Downey and Roscommon, Ireland are outstanding. Not only did your paintings bring more emphasis to his historical background in starting the City of Downey, but took him back to his home in Ireland to be admired for his endeavors by many.It has truly been my/our pleasure to experience your beautiful art and to continue enjoying your portraits that have followed for the Downey Historical Rives Mansion, and the Church of the Resurrection. Truly beautiful! Congratulations, Alda Sichting, Past President Downey Sister Cities / Past Commissioner for Cities of Downey and Bell Gardens , CA

Maureen your art work not only bespeaks your talent and skill as a gifted artist but, also your personable and persistent laborious efforts. To know you as I know you is very special. I know you are also the apple of your husbands eye. Not only are you the apple of his eye, you are also 'My Dear Heart.'
When I peruse your paintings it's personifying. It soothes and allays the passions, while engendering thought and knowledge. Your work is impeccable. Your art work and friendship is a compliment of your Creator.

Really enjoy your paintings!! Thank you!
Lovely paintings by a lovely woman who can do just about anything she sets her mind to. Bravo!
Maureen is that rare artist who is gifted on many levels: clear representation of topic, exceptional colorization, and honest multi-dimensional insight into the soul of her subjects. Her works are memorable, and stay with the patron long after viewing. KUDOS.
Maureen is an amazing and talented artist. Her paintings are beautiful and very inspirational. My husband and I are honored to have one of her original paintings in our home. It brings us such joy!
Maureen is a wonderful, talented and imaginative artist who always captures the very essence of her subject. We are very proud owner of her works and have the very great pleasure of enjoying them daily. She continues to be a treasure to us all.
Maureen is so versatile and talented - I wish that I had even a fraction of her ability to take paint and breathe so much life into her canvas!
Her works come alive, her subjects are diverse and her communication comes through loud and clear!
Pure magic!
I really love the WC Fields. Your art is an inspiration to us all!
Your art is so wonderful. Clearly the inspiration passes through your heart before the brush touches the canvas. I am also touched by the range and depth of your subject matter. Please don't ever stop producing, I want to continue to be amazed every time I visit your website.
What beautiful art! The vibrant colors, the humanity of the subjects and the gorgeous finished works. Your talent brings joy to so many. It's clear it comes from a place deep in your heart.
I very much enjoy looking at your paintings. They bring peace to me no matter what's going on.
Thank you.
Thank you for the beautiful work you do. I have 3 of your pictures in my home. Right now I am looking at the fountain with the little dog looking up at the water running over the edge. A soothing picture that makes me smile. Your picture of Jesus that you painted for the Catholic church is so beautiful. Donna Courville is my daughter.
My wife is a lover of cats and birds. Both kinds of creatures play prominent roles in Maureen Gaffney’s beautiful pictures of Humphrey the San Diego feline, and the Autumn Bench, which adorn the walls of our Virginia home. Maureen is a one-of-a-kind artist with amazing talent, through use of color, texture, and selection of theme. The rich and vivid portraits that she creates must be seen to be fully appreciated. It would be hard to walk away from her gallery without selecting something to take with you!
All the best, Maureen!!
We met Steve and Maureen in Napa several years ago. They became close friends of my
close friends, the Courvilles. I saw her work in the Courvilles' home snd quickly purchased a beautiful still life for myself. I value that piece and I sm proud to
dusplay it in my home
I am honored and proud to know an amazing artist and friend. Love you

Amazing and Inspirational artist. Maureen's work excites the soul and brings us a little closer to that inner peace we are all searching for. Her work is uniquely beautiful and we are privileged that she shares it with us.
I have been browsing Maureen's website for a couple of years after seeing one of her paintings of a bird that was gifted to close friends. What should have been an ordinary bird was transformed into an extraordinary painting with the attention to details in every inch of canvas. Such talent is rare and Maureen's paintings touch a wide range of people's sentiments. Keep painting Maureen, we love to see what else you create and turn into beauty.
Maureen's work continues to amaze. She is both generous and talented and generous with her talent. Her portrait of John Downey is centre stage in the council chamber of Roscommon County Council, home county of John Downey, Ireland. I look forward to seeing in person the "sister" portrait of John Downey that hangs in Downey, California. Wishing Maureen continued success.
When I first got together with Maureen it was like we always knew each other. A wonderful warm and loving woman. To have one of her beautiful paintings hanging in our home is just very special. We hope to have many more special times to share together. Warm regards from Robin and David Tuggey.
We are extremely honored and proud to have a beautiful piece from Maureen at the historical Rives Mansion in Downey for everyone to enjoy. With God's will we shall hang more of your beautiful art on our walls.
We are very fortunate to have an original oil painting of a beautiful country landscape.Maureen is a terrific artist. My wife, Karen and I are often asked about this original piece of art that has been displayed in our home for several years.
We are proud to know Maureen and hope that she will paint for many more years.

Maureen is my friend! I am a thirteen year old boy and I am proud to have some of her art hanging in my bedroom. One of my favorites is of their dog, Daphne. I love Steve and Maureen. I was blessed to attend the special event where her beautiful picture of Jesus was given to a church.

Very Glorifying. Your work shines through, great website. I'm honored to own a piece. Thank you.
I really like Maureen's use of colors, especially in her more "modern" and impressionistic works. I look forward to seeing more of her work in the future.
Beautiful work, full of life.
If artists are supposed to bring stillness to life, this website is a small world.
Keep up the good work.

I am so proud of my Godmother, Maureen, she is such an inspiration for young women trying to make a name for themselves. The work displayed on this site is a thing of beauty, and even more engaging in person. She has inspired me and my sisters to follow our artistic and creative passions and convert them into a career without a fear of the unknown.
With love, Denise.
Way to go! This site is a thing of beauty. The paintings are therapeutic, and I am honored to be able to call you my friend! May G-d bless you and yours, and may you have a sweet sweet year, filled with the good kind of good. Keep pointing out the beauty in this world! We need it.
Hi Maureen,
I want to Thank You again for sharing the beautiful painting you did of actress Linda Cristal in the black dress from the movie Perfect Furlough. So many of Linda's fans LOVED it! I enjoyed looking at all your lovely paintings. You are very talented. God Bless.
Maureen, I feel honored to call you "my friend". What a wonderful talented artist. I absolutely enjoy "the cottage Door" every time I look at it, it takes me back to Ireland and the wonderful time we spent together. Keep smiling, you are a ray of sunshine in my life!
What a super artist you are Maureen...and an all around sweet lady. Gwen and I continue to enjoy our special piece.
Arthur and Gwen Hiller
I can't decide which I like better, Maureen's warm and soulful art or her warm and soulful heart. Since I can't I'll take both!
Maureen,
Having had the honor & privilege to be exposed to so many of Maureen's paintings at one time was amazing. Getting to know her and Steve personally was even more special. The Wolfson's took a fondness to a small resort in North Georgia a few years back which I had the pleasure of managing. Barnsley Gardens and its rich and captivating history inspired Maureen to paint many wonderful pieces of art. I visit your website from time to time just to reflect on a special time with dear friends.
keep the fire burning Maureen!
Best always,
Scott
Maureen,
You went beyond all my expectations, the painting is fabulous!
Thank You,
Linda
Truly wonderful art by a wonderful artist and person. You are incredibly talented. May your art continue to spread joy to the lives of others as it has for us. Continue the great work!!
All the best,
Arash
Dear Maureen,
I really enjoy viewing your paintings as we plan a project with the "new" Bell. I especially like the stills. This must be because I like flowers and the bright colors! The illumination I also find deeply impressive.
Your work and energy toward the community, especially the painting of the resurrection in Boyle Heights was magnificent. The community was so grateful that it was an easy decision for the City of Los Angeles to honor you and your amazing life!
Finally, thank you personally for loving my family and being a role model for my girls. You are memorable and generous.
Yours truly,
Nestor Enrique Valencia
Mayor, City of Bell (2014)
Beautiful, heart-filled, art! Thank you for sharing!
Dear Maureen,
Thank you so much for my beautiful lithograph! Every time I look down that garden path, I am overcome with a feeling of tranquility and repose. Your talent and generous heart never ceases to inspire me.
Fondly,
Karla Kay
I am honored to leave this message on Maureen's guestbook. She is an extremely talented and creative artist. I proudly display her painting which can be seen every day when I walk up and down my stairs. The colors and images bring together comfort and personality. My only regret is that I don't have more of Maureen's paintings.
