Heather Murphy

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

Starting in 1974, Ms. Murphy's journaling has become a cottage industry with the production of greeting cards and prints. She has taught classes on journaling and observing nature for the Smithsonian Institute, The North Cascades Institute, Douglas and Chelan County Schools and The University of Washington among many. Her work has appeared in publications as varied as Smithsonian Magazine, Country Pleasures Magazine and several scientific journals, including an early 1990 paper on the Spotted Owl.

Somewhere between scientific observation and casual studies, these remarkable works are accompanied by notes on plant and animal species, behavioral traits, anecdotes and odd facts that make the specimens seem up-close and personal. The lines and colors are rough and immediate, filled with excitement experienced while observing nature first-hand.
