Isabelle Murray was born in Saguenay. Attracted to art and design, the artist moved to Bas-Saint-Laurent for her studies. For 20 years now, she has continued to live there. It is in Rivière-du-Loup, near the river, that she works, lives, and finds inspiration. She paints the St. Lawrence River: its light, its colours, and its vast expanses. Strongly inspired by the beauty of the Bas-Saint-Laurent maritime landscape that unfolds daily before her eyes, the artist creates works that highlight the estuarine zone of the St. Lawrence River in contemporary art. Like abstract horizons turned towards the future, her creations are for her a way to establish a point of contact with the richness and beauty of the estuary. The works are imbued with a spirit of balance and contemplation. Coming from the world of graphic design, she began this series of works in 2008.
In recent years, the artist has explored combinations of softer and more organic colour schemes. Her signature has evolved further in finesse and detail. She is interested in winter maritime landscapes and will create a new series entitled Calme blanc, in collaboration with Mélusine. Several of her works have also been selected and acquired by the Musée du Bas-Saint-Laurent over the years for the museum's annual auction. Isabelle Murray exhibits again several times in Trois-Pistoles, a place she loves....
