John Murray is a professional Artist living and working in Lightning Ridge, in the far north west of NSW Australia.
The Ridge is known worldwide as the home of the Black Opal. John has been painting and exhibiting in the Ridge and surrounding areas since 1983 and opened his own gallery in 1992.

John's work has been described as photo-realism and he is well known and loved for the humour and whimsy he portrays. The use of birds and wildlife to parallel human situations combined with vivid, rich colour makes his paintings very distinctive and striking. The fact that he constantly draws on everyday situations, human folly, and places and scenes that are a familiar part of life in the bush gives his art an appeal that defies age or culture. You'll find John's art has something that everyone can relate to and enjoy.

You'll enjoy the site most if your screen resolution is set to 1024 x 768, it's quite viewable at 800 x 600, and if your running 640 x 480 you'll find you need to scroll quite a bit in places. As this is an on-line gallery, and consequently quite "image heavy", some of the pages may take some time to load, please be patient and allow them to load fully.
