Jurne grew up in Portland, Maine and began painting graffiti in the late 90’s, adding his touch to the freight trains carrying goods through the maritime provinces of the Northeast United States. Graffiti, in all its mystique and rawness, served as a teenage crash course in color theory, composition and art materials use; the thrill of creating bold lettering with limited resources, on the fly, often in the dark. The skills procured and seeds of inspiration sown during these formative years of graffiti infatuation became the foundation for a two-plus-decade’s long passion-turned-art-practice, and enabled Jurne to travel extensively throughout the United States to create public work, cultivating and honing an aesthetic voice for his artwork. Over the past decade, Jurne’s artwork has been included in exhibitions and festivals domestically and abroad, including in New York, Los Angeles, Denver, Boston, and Miami, as well as Vancouver, London, Berlin, Warsaw, Napoli, Dubai U.A.E., Shenzhen, China and Auckland, New Zealand. Jurne’s process and the granularity of his artwork often borrow from his previous experience working as a scientist in the stem cell biology research field, before shifting to creating artwork full-time. Letterforms, gestural marks distilled from them, and their interplay with photographic elements are central themes in Jurne’s work, as is commitment to experimentation with mark-making tools and processes. Jurne’s work spans mediums, from large-scale public murals to works on canvas, hand-cut paper and wood assemblages, photography, print-making and digital design. Jurne currently lives and works in Oakland, California.

Jurne在緬因州波特蘭長大，並於 90 年代末開始塗鴉，為穿梭在美國東北部沿海省份的貨運列車增添了他的感性。

對於Jurne來說，塗鴉充當了色彩理論、構圖和藝術材料使用方面的青少年速成班，成為了長達他二十年多年藝術創作的基礎。

從字母形式中提取的手勢標記以及它們與攝影元素的相互作用是 Jurne 作品的中心主題，對標記製作工具和過程的實驗也是如此。 Jurne 的作品跨越多種媒介，從大型公共壁畫到畫布、手工剪紙和木組合、攝影、版畫製作和設計。
