Ellen Granter

Born in New York City, I grew up outside of Rochester, NY and received a BA from the University of Vermont in 1984.

I studied Chinese in Hong Kong, Beijing, and Middlebury College, and finished my Chinese studies

with an MA in Chinese History from the University of Vermont in 1988.

After moving to Boston, I became a graphic designer.

As an antidote to the constraints of my computer-intensive graphic design career, I began painting.

As time went on I became integrated with painting.

To brush dabs of oil on a surface in a human effort to capture the sublime is a challenge

that has made me hyper-aware of the textures, shapes, and patterns of daily life.

I believe that a beautiful painting is both a gift of vision and a testament of appreciation

for our short lives here on this beautiful Earth.
