ANNIE MURPHY SPRINGER
LOCAL LANDSCAPE PAINTINGS, EXUBERANCE AND WHIMSY

“It is with great sadness that we report that Annie Murphy Springer, a founding member of the Artisans’ Co-Op, has passed away.She was proud of her time as Bodega’s Fire Chief; the first woman to hold the post statewide. She also loved teaching Pleine Air painting, and was passionate for the color purple.” Artisans' Co-op Gallery Artists

"They tell me that my art makes them "feel happy," and that they respond to the color, freshness, exuberance, and sometimes whimsy of the paintings. Since "I like any color as long as it's purple!," my affection for purples, maroons and mauves is reflected in my work.

"I aspire to inspire before I expire !”~ Annie Murphy Springer.
