Jenn Murray is a painter working between Sydney and the Blue Mountains, Australia. Living in a cottage surrounded by a small rain forest her main interest is in painting quiet spaces. In a world full of mobile phone photographers and selfie sticks, she makes a conscious effort to travel everywhere with a pencil. Sketchbooks are integral to her work and she uses these as a form of reference. Jenn is highly trained in fine art and her first solo show was with Switchback Gallery in Victoria, Australia in November 2015.
