Ellen Granter

In her words…

“Although I was always making stuff, painting, designing clothes, knitting, making jewelry, etc., my career took some long detours before I became a full-time artist, including seven years of studying Chinese and  a thirty-year career as a graphic designer. However, at each fork in the road, I turned more fully toward painting–toward what I love.

What do I love about it? I love the possibilities of a few new tubes of paint, a handful of good brushes, a blank canvas, and the glimmer of what I hope might be a promising idea. Each painting is the accumulated result of a thousand decisions. What is my process? Don't ask me; all I know is that I love being up to my elbows in it.”
