In April the artist moved her studio again, from her Newton home, to a storefront on Spring Street. Her reputation is gaining statewide notoriety with her inclusion in the July / August issue of NJ Savvy Living Magazine, available at newsstands now.

NJ Savvy Living Magazine caters to New Jersey’s most affluent lifestyles through its sophisticated articles and design. The bimonthly magazine goes to approx. 50,000 consumers, mostly in northern New Jersey. The publication’s monthly artist profile, for which Schaeffer was selected, has included artists such as Peter Max.

Editor in chief, George Anderson, selected Schaeffer as the artist for the July / August issue after viewing her work online at Jerseyarts.com. Attracted to her paintings depicting kitchen appliances, Anderson phoned Schaeffer in May to inquire if she would like to be profiled for the magazine.
