Sheryl Jaffe has been exhibiting her artwork throughout New York and New England for over thirty years. She works with organic materials, handmade paper from local and exotic plant fibers, and found objects to create two and three-dimensional works that are reminiscent of the human body and the strength and frailty of skin. Her work includes installations, sculpture, pulp painting, artist books, and prints. These works are evocative offerings for viewers to move through, make discoveries, and be drawn into contemplation. 

 

She studied traditional hand papermaking in Japan and China and has taught papermaking at home and abroad. Jaffe was a resident artist at The Barn, Edward Albee Foundation and at Yellowstone National Park. She teaches art, ceramics, printmaking, book arts and papermaking at museums, public schools and art centers. When not in her studio, you can find her swimming in the bay or walking in the woods.
