Katty McMurray was born in London in 1970. She studied art at the Chelsea School of Art graduating in 1991.

Katty McMurray has always been a keen traveller. As a result many of her contemporary paintings of places such as Zanzibar, China, India, Italy and many parts of England and Scotland have been inspired by her travels. Katty's modern art work stems from her love of drawing. While away on location, she spends her time sketching; quickly and often using a single line, she records her immediate impressions of a place. On returning to her art studio, these drawings are used as a base for her larger paintings in oil on canvas, keeping the strong lines and using colours to recreate the atmosphere of the particular place.

Katty McMurray’s modern art work has been published as limited edition prints She has also undertaken a number of commissions including a painting on the Cunard Cruise Liner the 'Queen Victoria', and recently a series of paintings for 'Harbour Way' apartments by Bryant Homes.

In addition to exhibiting at Red Rag Modern Art Gallery Katty McMurray has had a series of successful solo and mixed shows at other British Art Galleries.
