JL. Munro was born in 1949, in Massachusetts, raised in N.Y.C., and her earliest American roots trace back to the first settlers of New England, and New Amsterdam (New York). Munro describes her canvases as “pictorial – history” or that they are paintings with a message – actually read by the viewer, like a page in a book. Munro’s favorite landscape subjects include, waterfront New England and New York. Sometimes it is a bustling city street, or a quiet river side village. Munro always works for realism, and carefully finishes each canvas to tell a story of Our American Heritage.
“We were married in 1968, and did not go to college after high school. We had three kids right away, and I had a lot of part-time jobs, but I never took a job I couldn’t quit. I’ve been a waitress, housekeeper, window washer, bakery clerk, flower designer, and hospital EKG technician. I always knew that I was really a painter, and that working for a little money at some other job was temporary, ’till I could get back to my canvases.” Today the Munro’s make their home in Otsego County, N.Y. – and enjoy their leisure times with family and 20 grandchildren.
