About Grannies
Grannies home on the web provides grannies and all people of good will a place to be uplifted and receive joy through art and inspiring examples of real grandmothers who are living exemplory and virtuous lives.
Grannies began in 2005 with the goal of bridging generational family relationships and to a lesser extent bridging American culture gaps, by considering the theological ideas of ressourcement and aggiornamento - looking backward in order to progress forward. The focus is on the traditional archetype of grandmother, her strong friendships, and personal eccentricities, expressed through contemporary pop pastel colors and an accessible, hand-drawn style. The hope is to engender a spirit of filial piety and a return to tradition with sentiments of joy, light-heartedness, and intentional purity. This style of art is considered to be ‘Pop Genteel’.
