About Ellen Mainville
Ellen Mainville was a New York native, teacher, writer, poet, and artist.
Ellen grew up on a farm in northern New York. Then, married to Mark, she raised two boys and numerous pets in the nearby town of Malone, while cultivating both souls and gardens in the rugged “Foothills of the Adirondacks.” She was a teacher in both public and private schools and, lastly, for the NY State Deartment of Corrections, where she was also the director of college programs.
Ellen was an accomplished writer and artist. She previously published poetry and prose in various newspapers and magazines, winning recognition in select competitions. She was a member of Foothills Art Society and Downtown Artist Cellar for many years, winning numerous awards in various shows and competitions.
Ellen first authored All My Days, a book of devotions [July 2017, ISBN: 978-0-9962883-1-6]. Subsequently, she began her second book — the book that was closest to her heart. A Garden for Grace [Nov 2021, ISBN 978-0-9962883-2-3 ) is a children’s book of poetry, inspired by her grandmother’s love of gardens, and illustrated with Ellen’s own charming designs. Chiefly, her writings feature God, nature and family: in these she found strength and resiliency through good times and in bad. Ellen died in September 2021—valiantly striving to finish A Garden For Grace as she battled with vaccine-breakthrough Covid-19. The book was completed posthumously through the combined efforts of her husband, her son Andrew, her art guilds, and her publisher.
