Biography

Murielle White is a French artist born and raised in Paris. She earned her BFA in Studio Art, magna cum laude, from the University of South Florida in 2006, followed by studies in traditional Chinese ink landscape painting at the Nanjing Art Institute in China. She received her MFA in Painting and Drawing from the University of North Texas in 2010.

White taught painting at the University of North Texas from 2008 to 2018 while maintaining an active studio practice. Her work has been presented in solo exhibitions at Dallas Contemporary, Cris Worley Fine Arts in Dallas, McMurtrey Gallery in Houston, and Stella Jones Gallery in New Orleans. In 2016, she was awarded a major public art commission for Oceans of Possibilities, a 4-by-92-foot mural for the University of North Texas Student Union.

In 2018, White returned to Europe, living for five years in Naples, Italy, followed by periods in Paris and Marseille. Her years along the Mediterranean marked a significant shift in her practice. Experiences of movement, displacement, and changing environments increasingly entered the work, while water, erosion, stone, sediment, and shifting surfaces became material and conceptual points of departure.

Since returning to Dallas in 2025, White has expanded this language through painting, drawing, collage, raw and irregularly shaped canvas, thread, and installation. Her current work approaches landscape not as a fixed place or representation, but as an internal and continually changing terrain shaped by memory and lived experience. The continuity between different places and moments—and the ways the work continues to shift and evolve through them—has become central to the growth of her practice.

In 2026, White presented a solo exhibition at Pencil on Paper Gallery and was featured by the gallery at the Dallas Art Fair. Patron magazine recognized her as a standout artist in its 2026 Dallas Art Fair issue. She is currently exhibiting in The Places We Carry, a collaborative exhibition at Kinfolk House in Fort Worth, Texas.
