Donald Jurney was born in Rye, New York, in 1945, and was educated at Columbia University, the Pratt Institute, and the Art Students League. His career has spanned nearly four decades and has included over twenty-five one-person shows in San Francisco, New York, Boston and elsewhere. Jurney's work is influenced by his time spent living and working in the Hudson River Valley, England, France, Ireland and in the Berkshires of western Massachusetts. He currently maintains a studio in Massachusetts. His work is a tapestry woven from a lifetime of experience in drawing and painting, and from careful understanding and observation of the world around us.
"Often a painting is a conversation between disparate shapes and forms, ... here brilliant, there disguised---in a carefully-conceived dance of light. This may be a celebration of a place, perhaps, or an investigation of an evanescent mood. For the viewer who has both the time and inclination to really look, one hopes to afford, by way of a painted surface wrought of subtleties, the opportunity to explore at leisure the wonder of the world in which we live.” - Donald Jurney
