About the Artist:
Elaine Jeffrey is a visual artist working in the medium of photography. Currently Jeffrey is participating in a research based Master of Arts in Photography program with her main focus of study being Abstraction in Photography. Since 2008 Jeffrey has dedicated her time to her artistic practice. Her first major commission came in 2013 when she was commissioned to produce a large-scale installation for The Art Building in Brussels. Jeffrey has participated in many group shows over the past years and has had three solo shows in reputable galleries in Sofia, Bulgaria (2015, 2016). In 2018 Jeffrey exhibited in a group show at the “Maryland Federation of Art, Circle Gallery” and was invited to participate in an international show at “The Center for Fine Art Photography” in Colorado. Her submitted work in Colorado won the “Directors Award” for best work. In 2020 Jeffrey participated in two exhibitions which (due to COVID 19) took place through Artsy online. In 2021, Jeffrey is participating in two international art fairs: ‘ARTMuc’ in Munich, Germany and ‘Art on Paper’ in New York. Elaine Jeffrey currently divides her time between Washington DC and Hamburg, Germany. Jeffrey’s work has been acquired by many private collections in Europe and America.

Why focus on local, women-identifying artists?
“Today, in the year 2021, women artists’ sales still make up only 2% of the global market. Despite highly visible efforts to counter the absence of women artists in international museum collections, very little action has been directed toward this jarring discrepancy in emerging to established women artists’ primary survival mechanism: the creative economy.
Further, DC, Maryland, and Virginia artists are working in a deeply engaged local art world that is at the red-hot center of the United States’ political landscape, and yet their voices are largely dismissed by the international art community and press.
The Pierce’s distinctive decision to collect only artwork by women artists who are also local - living, creating and exhibiting in its vicinity - sets a precedent for what it really means to support the arts.”
