Elizabeth Murray was born in Chicago in 1940 and passed away in 2007. She earned a BFA at the Art Institute of Chicago and an MFA from Mills College in Oakland, California. Murray’s distinctively shaped canvases break with traditional two-dimensionsal works and her paintings are abstract compositions rendered in bold colors and multiple layers of paint. Details in her work reveal a fascination with dreams and aspects of domestic life.
