Brian Alfred talks to painter Ellen Berkenblit.

Berkenblit comments: “If I let myself do what I naturally do physically, with a canvas, there are elements that are continuous. They’re like a diary, they keep morphing, they change. And they also become a springboard for paint and color mixing which is something that makes my heart beat very fast, in a great way, as I work. I’m basically telling myself a story through material as I work.”
