Commissioned by international governments, collected by celebrities, and exhibited around the world, renowned painter Maureen Gaffney Wolfson hosts a grand opening celebration of her new art gallery in Chatsworth

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 28, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Celebrated visual fine artist Maureen Gaffney Wolfson announces the grand opening of the 3,400 square foot Maureen Gaffney Wolfson Art Gallery located at 19860 Plummer Street in Chatsworth. The grand opening celebrations on December 2-3, 2023, include the exhibition of more than 250 of the artist's original works, spanning 60 years.

"My vision for the Maureen Gaffney Wolfson Art Gallery is to showcase how art has the power to transcend boundaries and to evoke emotional reactions. But, perhaps most importantly today, art has the power to give hope," the artist and gallery owner said.

"The Maureen Gaffney Wolfson Gallery celebrates creativity and inclusion—beckoning artists, art lovers, and our friends and neighbors in the greater Los Angeles community to join us in celebrating the magic and power of art," she added.

Born and raised in Boston, Gaffney Wolfson moved to Los Angeles in the 1960s and began work as an actor, model, and singer. She secured a recurring role on the Red Skelton Show and starred alongside Raquel Welch in Swinging Summer. She also appeared in the most popular television shows of the day, including Perry Mason, starring Raymond Burr.

Gaffney Wolfson also became a subject favored by famed fashion photographer Andre De Dienes, renowned for his iconic photos of Marilyn Monroe.

She received formal artistic training at the Arts Students League Of New York, under the tutelage of Thomas Fogarty and David Laffell. In 1983, Gaffney Wolfson was recognized as the Woman Artist of the Year by the International Beaux-Arts.

Gaffney Wolfson's oil-on-canvas, giclee-on-canvas, and acrylic-on-canvas paintings are reflective of her perspective on the unique environments around her. Her compositions are societal, historical, religious, natural, imaginative, and autobiographical.

On Saturday, the grand opening celebration of the Maureen Gaffney Wolfson Art Gallery will feature opening remarks from California State Treasurer Fiona Ma, and a ribbon cutting with Nick Montana, President of the Porter Ranch Chatsworth Chamber of Commerce.

On Sunday, the event will feature welcoming comments from former Mayor of Calabasas, and Chair of the Valley Economic Alliances, Fred Gaines, and a special ribbon cutting ceremony by Calabasas Chamber of Commerce CEO, Lisa Clayden.

The grand opening festivities include live chamber music, hors d'oeuvres, surprise high-profile guests, and a private meet-and-greet with the artist.

Beyond her exhibition and the grand opening celebrations, Gaffney Wolfson plans to make the gallery available for a variety of events. "My hope is that the gallery will serve as a gathering place to inspire and motivate others to pursue their unique artistic craft, whatever that may be," she said.

A portion of the proceeds from the sale of works will support non-profit organizations supporting the arts and children's causes.
