Pamela Murphy


Pamela Murphy studied at Rhode Island School of Design and got her MFA in India.
Murphy has had Solo Exhibitions in Boston, MA, Chicago, IL, Neenah, WI, Ephraim, WI, Birmingham, AL, and Charlotte, NC.  Murphy has showed work in group exhibitions in Wilmington, VT, Atlanta, GA, Ephraim, WI, Chicago, IL, Duxbury, MA, Milwaukee, WI, Galveston, TX, Sturgeon Bay, WI, Lahore, Pakistan, Grand Rapids, MI, Santiniketan, India, Calcutta, India, Providence RI, Palm Beach Gardens, FL, Charlotte, NC, and Wilmington, VT.

From her artist statement: “I collect old photographs and choose figures from them for my paintings. The people whose lives are recorded in those pictures are strangers, yet they are familiar to all of us. They remind us of ourselves, our families, and our issues on both personal and cultural levels.” (pamelamurphystudio.com)
I love how powerful a portrait is. I am very interested in the story behind the figure.
