Alan Murrays painted world is a world of love and beauty, of innocence and blossoming delight. He is able to capture a mood as delicate as the features he paints on his canvas, and just as intricate. Born in England, his family relocated to California when Alan was thirteen. It was there that his father encouraged him to pursue his artistic dreams. He studied at the Art Center College of Design in Los Angeles, and after graduation worked a series of jobs before being drafted into the Army. In the Army, he moonlighted from his job as a draftsman by painting portraits of officers wives, and their families. Two years after returning from the Army, he decided to show several of his paintings to local art dealers.

Giclee (jee-clay) is an advanced printmaking process for creating high quality fine art reproductions. The attainable excellence that Giclee printmaking affords makes the reproduction virtually indistinguishable from the original piece. The result is wide acceptance of Giclee by galleries, museums, and private collectors. Gallery wrap is a method of stretching an artist''s canvas so that the canvas wraps around the sides and is secured a hidden, wooden frame. This method of stretching and preparing a canvas allows for a frameless presentation of the finished painting.
