Beyond the Caliper: Featuring the Art of Adelaide Murphy Tyrol

McGowan Fine Art announces the opening of “Beyond the Caliper” featuring the art of Adelaide Murphy Tyrol. The show will run from September 8 through October 9, with an artist’s reception on September 11 from 5 to 7 PM. This is free and open to the public.

Ms. Tyrol has been the arts editor & an illustrator for Northern Woodlands magazine for twenty years, as well as the long-term weekly illustrator of that magazine’s The Outside Story syndicated newspaper series. Her association with Northern Woodlands has given her the opportunity to enliven through images subjects as diverse as feral swine, apple scab and river snot. She expands on the captured details and gesture of her illustrations to create her more artistic paintings which have a more emotional component. They move beyond the caliper and its realm of science, fact and illustration.

Tyrol has traveled from the shores of the Galapagos Isles and Northern Scotland to the estuary of Cedar Key, Florida observing species in their natural habitat. She tells the story of their beauty and destruction of habitat in paint.
