Pre-Frost SciArt Gathering hosted by Heather Murphree and Earle Jennings

Come celebrate SciArt and the fruits of our gardens before the first frost! Join our casual gathering at Heather and Earle's beautiful home and garden as we celebrate the end of the season and prepare for the first frost. If you like, bring a fruit from your garden to show and/or share.

Note: There is limited parking in the driveway, attendees should park on Calle Estado.

Artist Heather Murphree was born in Alabama and raised in Tennessee. Her happiest memories are being in nature, and her earliest work was representational. Her current work is primarily abstract. The paintings emerge from a dialogue between the natural world, and the colors, values, and shapes that appear in the painting process. Heather wants the viewer's eye to always have something to discover, to be endlessly engaged, and delighted in an experience similar to finding images in passing clouds. She graduated from Duke University with a BA in English and Anthropology, then spent a year traveling in Asia, and living in Auroville, India. Afterward she attended Pacific School of Religion in Berkeley, California and later received an MFA in sculpture from TCU, in Fort Worth Texas. She lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico with her husband Earle, two dogs and a large garden.
