Donald Saaf, a graduate of the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, is a painter, sculptor, musician, and children’s book illustrator. Saaf’s lively compositions address an imaginative world where human life and the natural world have equal veracity, each richly imbued with meaning and parable. The detailed imagery in his compositions is well supported by his fine hand in painting and use of color. These contemporary fables are a marvelous mirror for everyday life, as they hint at the elusive secrets – and the potential for communion -- that lie just beneath the surface of our daily existence. Saaf has shown his work extensively in the Boston area and elsewhere in the United States. He has illustrated twelve children’s books and has been reviewed in the Boston Herald and Art New England.
