“My paintings express my passion for my favorite subjects, and my desire to create images that are beautiful and pure. 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. Her studio is a tiny spare bedroom in her house near Boston, with one wall completely filled with art books. Her artwork is shown in numerous galleries throughout New England.
