BIOGRAPHY:
American Artist JL. Munro, is a contemporary self - taught painter who in more than 40 years of work, has achieved a great amount of recognition. Paintings by Munro are listed in many important public and private collections, including the Smithsonian Institution, Museum of American Folk Art, The John and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, and the Nantucket Whaling Museum, is to list only a few.JL. Munro was born in Massachusetts, and her earliest American roots trace back to the first settlers of Cape Cod, Nantucket, and New Amsterdam (New York) in the 1600's, including direct family lines to the Swain, Dolor Davis, Gardner, Hyde, Eaton, Holmes, and Cook family trees. 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, with a noted focus on the waterfront lives of her own ancestors. Munro's favorite subjects include her native Massachusetts and New York. Whether it is a bustling town center, a quiet bayside, or illustrating living by the sea, Munro is always striving for realism, and carefully finishes each canvas to tell a story of American History.JL. Munro - born [Janet Andrea Lehne] 1949 Woburn, MA. Married Charles Eldon Munro 1968 - Three children, 14 grandchildren, and 1 great grand child. Resides in Hyannis, Cape Cod, MA."I got 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, baby-sitter, 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 on Cape Cod, Mass. - and enjoy their leisure times with family and 14 grandchildren.Collections of her work include: The Smithsonian Institution, The Clinton White House, Mrs.Barbara Bush Sr., Mrs. Ethel Kennedy, Estate of Mrs. Rose Kennedy, Smucker's Inc., Tropicana Inc., The John D. and Catherine T.
