Born in Torrington, Connecticut, Ellen Murphy Dougan grew up in a world of gardens. Her father was an avid gardener. Surrounded by farmland and woods growing up, nature has remained a strong element of the artist's life and work.
The play of light, the emotion of color and the dance of line are subjects in her work.
A resident of Manchester for more than thirty years, Dougan graduated from the University of Connecticut with a degree in painting and a concentration in ceramics. Upon graduation, in partnership, she opened a ceramic studio, creating hand thrown pottery and ceramic tile.
Returning to work on canvas, Dougan’s one person shows include Naugatuck Community College, Norman Stevens Gallery in the Homer Babbidge Library of the University of Connecticut, the Canton Artist Guild. She has also shown in group shows at State of the Arts, Hartford, CT., John Slade Eli House, New Haven, CT, and the Old Lyme Art Association, to name a few. Her art is in corporate and private collections in the United States, Great Britain and Germany.
Dougan, a former President of Connecticut Women Artists, Inc., has taught painting at the Litchfield County Art Association, and for the continuing education programs at both the local high school and community college. She was an art teacher at St. James School in Manchester for five years.
This piece is from our large art collection, assembled over a more than 50-year time span. The collection consists of original paintings lithographs, photographs, drawings, etchings, and other types of prints, as well as some mixed media pieces, all of which we'll eventually be listing on Craigslist Marketplace. As our main concern is finding new, appreciative homes for the pieces, we're pricing them to sell, at prices well below fair market value. Thank you for visiting our listings, and please don't hesitate to message us if we may be of further help.
