JL Munro

Munro describes her canvases as “pictorial – history” or that they are paintings with a message – actually read by the viewer, like a page in a book. Munro’s favorite landscape subjects include, the waterfront lives in New York and New England. Sometimes it is a bustling city street, or a quiet riverside town, Munro always works for realism, and carefully finishes each canvas to tell a story of American Life.
