I'm lucky to share my studio with Ellen . . .
Today's Featured Artist is Ellen Rolli!
Ellen has just opened the Ellen Rolli Studio Gallery in the Cedar Park neighborhood of Melrose! As a graduate of the Massachusetts College of Art, she majored in Art Education with a minor in Painting.
"I am a Contemporary Painter, interested in interpreting subject and emotion in an abstract and intuitive way. I am inspired and excited by the process, by daring paint application, by color, texture and the element of discovery.
My process involves an instinctive use of materials, which allows for more freedom, more risk taking. As the painting evolves I react to the dialogue between us.
My search is not for the literal truth of subject, but an expressive and emotional reaction to it.
To quote artist Edward Corbett...'For me the unknowns of the process make for a journey of self discovery and a more meaningful painting experience.'"
