Serendipity means having the fortuitous good luck to come upon an unexpected blessing or windfall. But here in this collage created with papers, watercolor and ink, the boon is there but there’s also an element of humor and maybe even threat. Luck can be fragile. That imp hiding in plain sight might awaken to create havoc. The eggs could fall out of that basket, but oh the joy of having gathered them—so pure and white, so perfect and wonderful! Eggs… can hatch into birds. Birds can fly. Amidst the vicissitudes of life, this image is soulful, contemplative, and hopeful.
Jeri Griffith is a painter with work rooted in a rich and varied personal history. She draws inspiration from experiences ranging from a childhood spent on a wildlife refuge to extensive travels as an adult especially in Latin America. Media she employs include acrylics, ink, watercolor, graphite, and collage. In her acrylic paintings, she applies thinly layered translucent color to achieve a look akin to stained glass. Her figurative, non-realistic style borrows from Romare Bearden, folk and Inuit artists, and Meso-American influences. She works intuitively, calling on imagery from her interior life, relationships, and the natural world. Her paintings radiate vitality, warmth, and a profound, infectious love for people, animals, and everyday beauty.
