Reciprocal Inspiration and a Cranbury School Legacy: Elizabeth Grimaldi and Elaina Phillips
Elizabeth Grimaldi, retired Cranbury School teacher and administrator will exhibit her original paintings
at the Gourgaud Gallery in Cranbury Twp., N.J. from October 2 - October 30.
Additionally, works by Elaina Philips, her former student, will be on display. A friendship that later transcended the classroom began when Mrs Grimaldi sponsored Ms. Phillips to enter her work in a prestigious, national creative writing contest in 2016. Elaina won, and both were invited to Carnegie Hall to be honored. This exhibit speaks to the reciprocal nature of inspiration in the life of an artist. Their shared passion for painting will be represented in word and image in a show that will also celebrate the beauty of the created world.
Mrs. Grimaldi’s work captures some of her most treasured destinations while traveling the United States. Elaina is currently a freelance artist, studying painting and drawing at Mason Gross School of the Arts. Select original works, and some prints, will be for sale.
