For the months of July and August, Canton Public Library’s Gallery brings the outdoors inside with the botanical photography of EJ Grubbs.

At the tender age of 15, Grubbs completed the Hartford Ad Start Program and went on to become the youngest staffer at an advertising agency called Flaming Thing.  He earned a degree in Commercial Art and Advertising from the University of New Haven.  He has won awards from the Hartford Ad Club and the Connecticut Art Director Club.

His photographic style features nature in bold and colorful display.  Says Grubb, “I like to think that strong colors and shapes are part of a good composition, whether it’s creating and designing marketing materials or capturing an image through photography.”
