June McMurdo

artist image June McMurdo, Alberta native, was born in Edmonton, Alberta and received her registered nurse training at the Royal Alexandra School of Nursing. After working many years in various hospital settings, she now paints full time.

Her paintings can be found in many private collections throughout Canada, United States, and Australia. See more of June's work at MyArtClub.com and the link is art@junemcmurdo.com.

Artist Statement:

Art, for me, is a personal journey.

I feel compelled to paint interesting shadows, great landscapes, unusual flowers, and ordinary objects. Jewel tones, brilliant color, interesting textures and a "bit of the unusual" excite me.

I have heard artists say, "let the painter get out of the way and just let the painting happen". I believe that the painting will speak to me and help me to bring it to a finished piece.

I especially enjoy the challenge of interpretation of the subject, freedom of expression and opportunity to convey that to my viewers.
