Licensing Inspiration
Maureen Claffy is a Chicago based fine artist. Making art is as essential as breathing for me. It is my continual expression of prayer and belief in a loving God. Making art is how I embrace the chaos of the world without trying to control it. I paint what I feel, see and experience while focusing on the love. It is, in the end, all about the love. I hope that you find it in my work. I put it there for you.
Let’s work together and make the world more Beautiful.
