SUSAN ELIZABETH MURPHY, ARTIST

I WAS BORN AND RAISED IN SOUTHPORT, NC WHERE I SPENT MY FORMATIVE YEARS PLAYING AND EXPLORING ON MY GRANDPARENTS FARM ON THE CAPE FEAR RIVER. MY LOVE OF ANIMALS AND NATURE INSPIRES MY ARTWORK. I LOVE TO EXPLORE THE UNDERLYING RHYTHMS OF MY OWN LIFE, WHICH ARE LAYERED WITH SOUTHERN CULTURE. THE OBJECTS I CREATE EMPHASIS THE MOVEMENTS OF WAVES, FREQUENCY, AND ENERGY FOUND IN NATURE.  I HAVE BEEN STRONGLY INFLUENCED BY MICROSCOPIC ORGANIC FORMS, PLANTS, ANIMALS, MALE AND FEMALE FIGURES,  BODY MOVEMENTS, SPIRITUALITY, THE COSMOS, THE INTORSION OF THE HUMAN BRAIN AND MEMORY, OUR VISUAL LIMITATIONS, BIRDS, AND ALL FORMS OF WATER.
