Heather Murphy

August 6th - September 20th, 2008
Reception Thursday, Aug. 7th, 5:30-7:30.


Please refer questions to Jeffrey Moose, 206.467.6951 or jmoose@jeffreymoosegallery.com.

Jeffrey Moose Gallery, 1333 5th Ave, Seattle, is proud to announce a solo exhibition of artwork by former federal wildlife biologist Heather Murphy from August 6th through September 20th, 2008. A reception will be held on Thursday, August 7th from 5:30 to 7:30 in the Gallery.

The exhibition will feature new works created during her residency last winter at Steheiken, the remote outpost on the eastern end of Lake Chelan, staying at a National Park Service pioneer cabin. In this frosty wind-swept location, she painted works in her signature watercolor style as well as some remarkable new efforts in acrylic on canvas. The medium of acrylic is new to her and is producing strong results.

Ms. Murphy is well known for her wildlife journals and note cards featuring sketches and notes from wilderness observations in the Washington Cascade and Okanogen mountain ranges where she served as a field biologist for over 30 years. Her work has been shown throughout Washington state and in 2005, Ms. Murphy was invited to teach wildlife journaling as part of the Smithsonian's annual Folklife Festival on the Mall in Washington, D.C.
