"The Broken Pitcher"

by Charles Sillen, 1885

Beloved artist Jay Scott Murphy (1954-2024) passed away unexpectedly Thursday, March 14, in Red Bluff, California at the age of 70.

His keen interest in creating art blossomed and his paintings and the ceramic sculptures that he “raku” fired outdoors were unique and became prized possessions of local art lovers. In his retirement, Jay purchased a beautiful piece of property above Paskenta, where he planted an abundance of trees with the goal of creating a park. Watering and nurturing his trees with his dog was his greatest joy and meditation.

North Valley Art League will feature Jay’s art and a celebration of his life on Friday, September 6th, 5-8 p.m. at the Carter House gallery in Redding. Jay’s wish was for friends to plant a tree in his memory.
