Erin Mavis Murphy

Hi! I am Erin, and I am a 3rd year painting major who has a strong interest in fibre as well as ceramics! In my painting practice, I focus heavily on colour as my subject, yet keeping it minimalistic by using a small colour palette. I incorporate shapes or discrepancies that create visual disruptions within the paintings. I love to see the interactions between colours, and I find it interesting how everyone sees colour and interactions in such diverse ways!  

I love using colour in clean ways, which can be seen in my fibre pieces as well. Creating a simple, yet rustic looking tapestry based off Tarot Cards, I use a small splash of colour to make a clear representation of the warm sunlight and the dark blue sky at night. 

When I am not painting, I love to have fun creating ceramic pieces! I create items that serve a purpose within a home, while making them simple, yet beautiful to look at. My small ceramic pieces are used for burning incense, which is something I love to do at home! They can be used for creating a relaxing environment with incense, while releasing your chosen scents. 

Enjoy!
