Deborah Howland-Murray Self-Images
PORTRAITS OF 2-LEGGEDS and 4-LEGGEDS
About Deborah Howland-Murray
Trained at the School of Visual Arts, I believe in their philosophy that style comes from within, rather than being imposed on the work. As a result, I represent my subjects in a straitforward manner. My goal is to capture the personality that makes each of them, whether walking upright or on all fours, a unique individual.
I have had a varied career, spanning such diverging worlds as illustration, diversity education, and teaching in southeastern India. Portraiture has stolen my heart for the last fifteen years. I enjoy poses that are as candid and true to the everyday life of the individual as possible.
