Welcome to the web-site of Nigel Murray, a London based artist whose work is rooted in a deep love of drawing, especially from direct observation. This has led to a constant search for evocative shapes, patterns and colours that capture a sense of place or a mood. Figurative, semi-abstract and abstract approaches are explored in response to the Cornish coast, the Wiltshire and Suffolk countryside and the wooded areas and pathways of south-west London. Trained at Harrow and Camberwell, Nigel has worked as an artist, illustrator and teacher and is happy to discuss commissions.
