The Artist: Ellen Granter
"My paintings express my passion for my favorite subjects, and my desire to create images that are beautiful and pure. For me, the point is not to create a souvenir of a place, or an accurate illustration, but rather to try to capture the barest essence and to create luminous, sparely composed paintings while still revealing emotional undercurrents. I enjoy stripping away detail and balancing the composition over large fields of color, making small spaces between things, and overlooked everyday subjects come more clearly into focus." And that is exactly what Ellen Granter does with oils on canvas or on wood panels - make the everyday objects around us stand out. Her studio is a tiny spare bedroom in her house near Boston, with one wall completely full of art books. Ellen grew up in upstate New York and received a BA in political science and a masters in Chinese history from the University of Vermont. She studied Mandarin Chinese for seven years and lived in both Hong Kong and Beijing. She currently works as a book designer for an educational textbook publisher, creating instructional design that helps children learn math, social studies and science. Her artwork is shown in numerous galleries throughout New England and is present in many international corporate collections. Although she is involved in a Monday night painting group, and has been since 1993, Ellen does not have formal art training except for a drawing and a painting class in college. Hers is truly a natural talent, nourished mostly by her artist's statement above. View Ellen Granter's Fine Art Prints
