The Art of Jacqueline Murray

Meet the Artist

 

"Every painting is born of my need to capture the exquisite nature of the flower in the moment. Sometimes I look at a flower for a long time before I can commit the brush to the paper - I need to allow the blossoms to reveal themselves to me. It is as if the flowers are offering me something, and it is my challenge to preserve the essence of this gift. "

Ms. Murray was influenced by her high school art teacher, Alva B. Glidden, and was a member of the Museum of Fine Arts Junior Art League, Boston, MA. She then studied privately with Mary Rugg of Quincy, MA, and at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in San Francisco, CA.

Jacquie's work is installed in many private and public collections, including thirty-eight original pieces in Highland Hospital, Rochester, NY, and a permanent installation in the Bedtime Story store at Showplace Square in San Francisco. Her work has been displayed in galleries, juried shows, festivals, and fine arts showcases internationally.

Ms. Murray works on commission in watercolors, acrylics, and mixed media. Her work is available in giclée prints and by license.
