About Me


TO VIEW MY ARTWORK, PLEASE CLICK ON PICSHello!! My name is Darlene 'Dee' Murray and I am an artist here in Calgary, Alberta. WELCOME TO MY PAGE!! I encourage you to take a look at my photos to see some of my work. I am a self-trained artist with some formal university level art classes. But after 3 years in the post-secondary field, I learned more about myself and what I wanted from my education than I expected and decided to move on, out into the real world of the working class. After 8 years of marriage to my 'high school sweetheart' I am now starting a new life including putting my talent with pen and ink to work for me. I have never felt more free than I have this past year, nor more terrified. The best thing I can pass on to anyone looking at chasing a dream is DO IT. No one will do it for you so if you want it, then get it.
