An artist's artist, Regina Granne's career spanned fifty-years - the breadth, depth and mastery of which can be seen in this exhibition. The work's importance is self-evident;Granne's paintings travel on a path of development that is inexorable, give her intelligence and strength of perception as a visual artist. The show must be seen, thought about and, above all, contemplated. It is not one-take art, but rather the work of a master, honing her craft over time, observing the world and rendiering it for our reflection.

Regina Granne (1939-2013) lived and worked in New York City. She received a BFA and an MFA from Yale University, and taught painting and drawing at Parsons School of Design in New York City and the Milton Avery Graduate Program in the Arts at Bard College in Annandale, New York. Her work has been exhibited at Genovese Sullivan Gallery in Boston, Columbia University in New York, The Andover Gallery of Fine Art in Andover MA, in Yamasaki, Japan, and many other places. Her work has been reviewed by the Boston Globe, The New York Times, Art News, and The Chronicle among other publications. Granne received the Augustus Saint-Gaudens Award for Art, (CUAA Award) in 2013.

She is represented by the A.I.R. Gallery in New York and the Genovese Sullivan Gallery in Boston.
