About

Elizabeth Murray notes, “Starting to make a painting is like starting to tell a story.” Her paintings are groping, clumsy, inevitably messy journeys of self-revelation. her paintings are sustained improvisations, developed through the process of making rather than from any preconceived design. Her works push into three dimensions, her shaped canvases acquiring the mass and insistence of sculpture.
