Leah Murray
I am a poet, photographer, and digital artist based in the lower mainland of BC, Canada. I acquired my first SLR camera and a moonlighting job on my local paper in the late 1970’s, combining images and words in one forum. The sideline came with informal instruction from professional photographers and publishers, a developing lab and supplies of black & white film. Around then I became convinced that wandering alone through the wilderness was far less frightening than photographing a bridal party. My technology career, spanning 30 years, introduced me to digital imaging, sound, and art forms which today inform my poetic and visual practices.
I am honoured to work and live on the unceded traditional territories of the Semiahmoo, Katzie, Kwikwetlem, Kwantlen, Musqueam, Qayqayt, Tsleil Waututh and Tsawwassen First Nations.
