Joy Murray Art

All of my art is painted with acrylic paint and ink on stretched canvas unless otherwise noted.

Prints and cards are available for some of my paintings on Redbubble. Some are too big or complicated for good prints, but I try to make as many possible available. Postcards are only $2.00, so there is something for every budget. If you’re interested in purchasing any of the originals that haven’t sold, please contact me at joyzmailbox @ gmail.com
