Ellene Breedlove Davis, Artist and Teacher
Paintings with Visual Music and Poetry |
|
Growing up in a farm family in Gwinnett County, GA, gave Ellene childhood experiences in a rural community. These experiences still inspire her to portray scenes from the countryside and historical places of interest. After many workshops and study with individual teachers, she feels she has had the best of both worlds. Growing at her own pace and choosing the teachers that would encourage her to capture the serenity she feels and sees in all of nature in her paintings. When Ellene started painting in 1975, she was 39 years old. Her first assignment was learning to doodle and wear jeans to class.
Ellene's goal is to create paintings that show strength in the composition, color and brush strokes. Using an emotional and descriptive style, her mediums of choice are oils and watercolors. Pastels and mixed media are used from time to time.
Ellene has participated in numerous group shows and four solo shows, her work is collected throughout the northeastern United States.
