Ellen Galinsky is President and Co-Founder of Families and Work Institute (FWI) based in New York City, a nonprofit, nonpartisan research organization that studies the changing workforce, family and community. As a preeminent think-tank, FWI is known for being ahead of the curve, identifying emerging issues, and then conducting rigorous research that often challenges common wisdom, provides insight and knowledge, and inspires and leads to change. Its purpose is to create research to live by. Ellen Galinsky is an ardent photographer. For more than three decades, her photographs have traced the process of change, as nature reclaims what is left of human creation the tenacity and triumph of living weeds, flowers, and trees to invade walls, to crack even the strongest of structures, and ultimately, to make their own creations out of ours. She had her first major photography exhibit in Charleston, WV, her hometown, at the Charleston Art Gallery in 1970. Later, she was chosen for a solo exhibition at the SOHO Foundation-Alfred Stieglitz Gallery, 1975, followed by an exhibit at Bank Street College in 1979. The Rockland Center for the Arts, West Nyack, NY presented her solo exhibition in 2003, as did the UMA Gallery, New York City in 2005 and in 2007. She also had a solo exhibit at the New York Hall of Science, Queens, NY in 2006. She has exhibited in numerous group shows including Hopper House in Nyack, NY, Imaging Arts in Tappan, NY, and Outside In Gallery in Piermont, NY. Ellen Galinsky is the author of 35 books and reports, many of which are illustrated with her photographs, including The New Extended Family (1977), The Preschool Years (1988), and the groundbreaking Ask the Children (1999/2000), selected by the Wall Street Journal as one of the best work life books of 1999. Among the recent reports that feature her photographs are Youth and Employment: Today's Students, Tomorrow's Workforce (2001), and Navigating Work and Family: Hands-on Advice for Working Parents (2002).Read more...
