Magruder Murray
Magruder Murray creates mixed medium artwork that reflects his life and interests. His formal art training began at the age of nine as a student enrolled in the Corcoran School of Art. Later, while attending Howard University, he took art classes from Lois Mailou Jones and David Driskell. He has also taken classes at the Maryland Institute of Art and the Alexandria Art League. Informally, Magruder networks with other artists conferring on techniques and processes. His camera is his constant travel companion… always in search of interesting subject matter.
Magruder enjoys experimenting with different medium mixes, materials, and styles to achieve his personal interpretation of subjects and ideas. He has worked in oil, watercolor, acrylic, color pencil and pen and ink. His works have been selected for juried and non-juried shows locally and nationally. He is a member of the Black Artists of D.C., Colored Pencil Society of America, Washington Project for the Arts, and National Conference of Artists.
