Lecture:
"Romancing the Image: Blurring the Edges of Photography and Painting for Intimate Self Expression"

deYoung Museum

Murray is considered a leader in the “painterly photography” movement. Her unique images are individually hand-painted from enlarged Polaroids she has drawn on when the emulsion is still soft. Learn how she blurs and merges the edges to soften contours and introduce more of her own vision and color. In her demonstration she will show how to use oils, pastels, and colored pencils to create a unique photograph. Murray’s work has been seen in one-woman shows throughout Japan, France, and the United States. It is available at Photography West Gallery in Carmel.

Photographer, painter, author, and gardener Murray is best known for helping restore Monet’s gardens in Giverny, France. Influenced by more than two decades of photographing Monet’s gardens, Murray takes SX-70 Polaroids and renders the soft emulsion like a painting. Printing enlargements on watercolor paper, she then hand-colors with oils, colored pencils, and pastels. This lecture and demonstration promises to be both fun and inspiring. Murray has taught her technique as a path to creativity to “awaken the artist within.” In a world often too attached to perfection and technology she is teaching softening, non-perfection, playfulness, and experimentation.
