Earl Grenville Killeen is a longtime member of Shoreline Arts Alliance, the founder of SAA’s high school juried art competition and exhibition, Future Choices, and the sponsor of the event’s Founder’s Award, shared by an art teacher and a student.
Earl remembers when art transformed his life – he was a high school freshman who was struggling academically when he won a scholarship to an experimental, co-educational summer school session for creative writing and art. He credits that camp with transforming his life and causing him to fall in love with learning. His continued dedication and support of Future Choices is his way of paying it forward and transforming the lives of others.
Earl’s work as an artist has served as a gift to our communities, and it is not surprising that four of his paintings have recently been added to the permanent collection of the Florence Griswold Museum in Old Lyme.
Earl has been active in the Connecticut arts community for over four decades, including as a recipient of two Individual Artist Grants from the Connecticut Office of the Arts, an Elected Member of the Connecticut Watercolor Society, the New Haven Paint and Clay Club, and the Lyme Art Association, and author of The North Light Book of Acrylic Painting Techniques.
Earl would like to express his gratefulness for the welcoming, supportive, and uplifting community of artists and arts organizations, and his deep appreciation to the Florence Griswold Museum for accepting his artwork into their collection. The pieces include three watercolors, Nesting, Mexican Stagecoach Jack 3, and Dog Fight, and an acrylic painting, Calling Dr. Sella.
