About E.J.

Artist, researcher, spiritual traveler of this fascinating orb we inhabit, lover of life and all it has to offer. Hi everyone out there in GMG land. My name is Ellen “E.J.” Lefavour (a/k/a “Ejay Khan” – the pseudonym I used during my years as a political activist artist). I am a newcomer to Cape Ann, and thrilled to be a new contributor to Good Morning Gloucester. I am a painter and photographer who has lived and worked as an artist for 20 years, since leaving the corporate world in 1990 to pursue my passion. My contributions to GMG will consist of images (either my paintings, photographs, or the occasional video) and a little history about the image, called “Did you Know?” I hope to come up with tidbits of information that people don’t already know, or had forgotten they knew. As I am new here, everything is new and fascinating to me, especially the amazing history, so bear with me if I post something that is common knowledge – I’ll eventually come up with something that’s new to you. Please take a minute to comment on my posts, like them or not, especially if you have corrections or something to add, as that is how I, and all of us, learn. Have a Good Morning Gloucester, and a blessed day.

      Thanks Craig and Lora. When you merge a bunch of the quintessential New England charm of Annisquam, by its nature it creates a classic look, and I thought it had a primitive look to it as well. Glad you like it. There is no place quite as lovely as Annisquam, especially after a blizzard.

    This is one I would love to frame! It is evocative of the American Primitive art of Grandma and Will Moses. And it perfectly captures the blinding brightness of winter sun reflecting off the blue-white snow of a midwinter’s day in New England. Charming!

      EJ is going to have a MONSTER year on rocky neck with her unique GTOWN photo collages. MONSTER! I hope she does a Fiesta one

      This one took about 12 hours, not including shooting time, to edit each of the photos and lay them out. They are a little time consuming to create, but I enjoy the process and love the final product.

    Truly a work of art. I love the tire swing hanging in mid-air!

      That tire hangs from a tree in a yard on Leonard Street, appearing like from mid air, and always looked so cool when I’ve seen it in the past against snow, so I captured it this time. People who live in Annisquam would know it, but I’m glad you appreciated it (I’m assuming you don’t live in Annisquam and know the tire swing). I included objects that are uniquely Annisquam, but that anyone could appreciate, even if they’ve never stepped foot here.

    Totally awesome!! It was worth your time and effort. The white houses are just beautifully layed out. Winter in Annisquam does have its charm. It should be a poster.

    This would make a fantastic painting! Tom and I were wondering what happened to our sign in front of our office? Lost in the White Out? Kris
