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 Amsterdam (New York), and New England. 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 York and New England. Sometimes it is a bustling city street, or a quiet river side town, Munro always works for realism, and carefully finishes each canvas to tell a storyof  Americanlives. 

Today the Munro’s make their home in Otsego County, N.Y. – and enjoy their leisure times with family and 20 grandchildren.
