ARTIST HISTORY

Born in Massachusetts in 1943, Maureen Gaffney spent the first 13 years of her life on the East Coast with her Mother and five siblings. At the age of 13, Maureen’s family moved to Tucson, Arizona where two years later she left home and began her artistic journey. Being educated only through the 8th grade, Maureen was worried about how she would support herself at such a young age. She used her poise and good looks to her advantage and began a career in modeling. Success came quickly and she found herself sought after for pinups, tearoom and ramp modeling. Maureen was even sought out by world famous Andre De Dienas for his book, “Nudes, My Camera and I”…
