Ellen Rolli

Ellen earned her degree in Art Education with a minor in Painting at the Massachusetts College of Art in Boston.  In 2009 she completed a month long residency at the historic Fine Arts Work Center of Provincetown.  The recipient of many awards, Ellen's paintings are held in numerous private and corporate collections throughout the US and abroad.

Ellen says, "As a contemporary painter, I am interested in interpreting subject and emotion in an abstract, intuitive way.  The process, daring paint application, color, texture, and the element of discovery inspire me.  In my process, I use materials instinctively.  This allows more freedom, more risk-taking.  As a painting evolves, I react to the dialogue between us.  I do not search for the literal truth of subject; I seek an emotional, expressive reaction."
