Poor Richard's Art will feature Eureka Springs Registry members John Murdoch and Sally Bowen as Artists of the Month during April.

  Murdoch takes photography to a new level with "arranged" images that capture the light and beauty of an array of subject matter. Coming from a family of florists, he often uses natural flowers in many of his images. While creating for quite a while, it is just recently that John decided to publicly exhibit his work.
