About Roberta Murray

Author Image

Canadian artist with a main focus on fine art pictorialist photography. It is my work with textiles that lead me to pick up the camera again. First to document my textile work, then as a form of meditation. It is also my textile work, specifically that of color and form, that lead me to a new way of thinking about photography.

The impressionistic pictorialist style I am known for today resulted. So it should come as no surprise that here I merge the two art forms. Original knitting patterns, photography books, calendars, and tutorials.
