BIO
Jennifer Maher Coleman has turned to unique or quirky toys as subject matter for still-life painting throughout her career. After the birth of her daughter in 2008, she launched Your Toy Portrait, a portrait-by-commission business focused on preserving well-loved toys (and all manner of favorite things) through portraiture. Her ongoing series of paintings of classic and vintage toys has expanded to include iconic music gear. Coleman leads the synth-pop duo “Architrave” and the five-piece rock band “Haley Moley.” She serves as songwriter, singer, keyboardist, and producer, and mixes their recordings and conceptualizes, films, and edits their music videos. As “DJ Jennifer Haley” she has played house and techno around the Northeast since 1995. Jennifer Maher Coleman is originally from Chicago and now lives and works in Ballston Spa, NY.
STATEMENT
My role as an artist has evolved into one of service and reverence, honoring other works of art, architecture, and design by feeling my way around their edges through painting.
