Red Oak
GALLERY & STUDIO
History
Red Oak Gallery and Studio is the workplace of award winning artist, Fran Ellisor. This studio was opened in July, 1997. She is an Impressionist Artist and the majority of her works are painted from life, whether in the studio or en plein air, the french term for outdoors. The artist is a designated Master of the Outdoor Painters Society, she holds Signature status with the American Impressionist Society and is an Associate Artist with Distinction, American Women Artists.
Painting is my voice, my art is my story. It is not only a visual record, but an emotional reaction to the elements around me. Stopping to paint a scene allows me to become a part of it, to hear it, see it, smell it, feel it and to react to it. It is the process of painting that gives me joy, lets me learn and give back.
