John Murray web editionBY SAMANTHA STRATTON

When you stand in the streets of Lightning Ridge you can quite easily imagine it as a lonely mining outpost filled with men searching for that elusive shot of brightness hidden deep in the earth. But being an artist, like opal mining itself, takes time and perseverance before you can succeed.

For artist John Murray this comparison is a mirror to his artistic success. The landscape is challenging and only time and perseverance have led to the successful gallery and art practice that is filled with light and humour.

In Lightning Ridge perseverance is the key and the small town draws people from all walks of life and all corners of the globe to try their luck in the dusty, rocky hills of the region. But for John this is the place he has called home for the 30 years and has seen it emerge as an outpost ‘just filled with men and a few families’ to a thriving town full of creativity and community spirit.

As you look around John’s gallery those rocky ridges and the vast open plains of the region are an inspiring light in all his work. Big or small, the canvases are dotted with rocky landscapes, laughing galahs, sleepy dogs and tongue-in-cheek titles that echo the dry humour that can be found in country NSW.
