Missoula art galleries say sales have jumped significantly, mirroring a national trend

Over the past year, Ram Murphy has witnessed the development of a vexing problem in his art gallery on Higgins Avenue, which features the work of his wife, Kendahl Jan Jubb.

It’s not that Murphy can’t move Jubb’s paintings. Rather, it’s that he can’t keep up with demand.

“Output is the only thing that limits her sales at this point,” says Murphy. “She can only produce so much work.”
Jubb’s intricate and colorful paintings of wildlife and flowers aren’t exactly new to local galleries: Her work has shown around town for a quarter of a century. But ever since Murphy opened a gallery devoted to Jubb’s work last year, sales have skyrocketed.
