Ingrid Murray handwritten in black

Hello!

Welcome!

Hi friend! My name is Ingrid Murray, and I’m an American mixed media artist and art journaler living and working in Cologne, Germany.

I’ve been creating for over 15 years, and in my work, I let intuition and chance lead the way by tuning into the innate creativity and sense of possibility that all of us experience as children.
