Granett was a resident at Vermont Studio Center (2017), Red Gate, Beijing (2010), participated in Bronx AIM (2011) and received a Foundation for Contemporary Arts Grant (2011). During the years of 2007 through 2011 she participated in artist-run exhibition initiatives in Newark and Brooklyn. From 2011 to 2014 she lived and worked in Istanbul, co-producing the artist-run project NIMBY Lifestyles. In 2014 she co-founded the online arts magazine Dime and Honey (2014-2017). She has worked collaboratively with musician-composer Roozbeh Nafisi (Festival of New American Music, 2017), and Steven Dressler (video animation shorts, TSTS). Granett earned an MFA from Mason Gross School of the Arts, Rutgers. Los Angeles has been her home since 2015.

In plein air and studio-based drawing and painting, Granett deploys an array of painterly tools to render an encounter with location. Absent the human figure, she pursues compositional and pictorial elements as containers for sensory experience, intuition and happenstance. Joining location and presence through paint, she aims to dilate time and attention.
