By permission of the artist, The Cyber Art Show is pleased to feature the first of two 12-piece exhibitions of works by American painter Fran Ellisor (Born 1951 in Texas, USA).

Fran Ellisor's classic and eloquent style of painting is sure to capture your heart. Her paintings have won numerous awards in national as well as regional shows. Her paintings are highly collected. She is represented in corporate and private collections in the U. S. and abroad.  

 

Fran Ellisor has been painting the landscape professionally for over twenty years. She paints primarily outdoors on location and working from life in the studio. Her style is a painterly realism; her strokes are confident yet spontaneous; her colors are clean and fresh. She is an accomplished figure and portrait painter and is known for her intimate, elegant still lifes.

 

Fran has carried her paintbox from Alaska to Mexico and Guatemala, across the United States and to Spain, France, Italy and Greece. She includes these areas from around the world in her works.

 

It's not unusual to find this Impressionist painter along one of Texas backroads or creeks, painting what she sees, expressing what she loves. The Texas landscape plays an important role in her paintings including the Hill Country, desert mountains of West Texas, and from the piney woods of East Texas to the lush tropical seaside of the Gulf Coastal areas. You'll likely see her painting anywhere she finds beauty and interesting subjects.

Twelve Pieces by Contemporary Artist

                   Fran Ellisor (Born 1951)

                       ARTIST'S STATEMENT

Painting from life, capturing the light and feel of a specific location or setting, interpreting the world in a way that will inspire others and create a sense of harmony in their lives are my goals as well as my reward.

 

Painting is the way I communicate and express how I feel about the world around me. I want the viewer to share this emotional response to the subject.

 

Each day I paint fills me with great pleasure and joy and makes me look forward to the following day, so that I can paint again. My brushes and paints are the tools through which I speak: without them, I am silent.” ​
