Roberta Murray is a poetic impressionist painter from Alberta, Canada. From a young age, art has been an important part of her life. It started with an entry in a baby book at age 2; “very artistically able”. Roberta’s great x2 uncle was a prominent water-colourist and founding member of some of Canada’s longest running art associations. Her grandmother and mother were both hobby painters, so there was never a lack of encouragement for her to pursue painting.

Through painting Roberta is attempting to present a visual story about life, love, and the importance of nature and the land. She tries not to copy the reality of her subject, but a sense of emotion that will allow the viewers to create their own interpretations. She uses softer colours, loose brushstrokes, and layered texture to add depth and feeling to the work.
