About the Item

This is a framed, one-of-a-kind monoprint in colbalt blue on archival paper from Deirdre Murphy's "Contemporary Herbarium" series based on Lehigh University’s Tremblay Herbarium collection. Herbariums are a library of preserved plants which climate change scientists use to track the decline and/or health of botanical species. These monoprints, made from direct impressions of the flowing plant, take a hyperlocal look at East Coast pollinator species that act as hosts to feed the migratory birds, continuing to thrive despite the rising temperatures. The focus of Murphy's studio practice is grounded in the ecology of hope rather than the grieving of extinction and the belief that through awareness we can work to heal and repair our warming earth. The work itself measures 20" x 15" and is framed to 26.25" x 21.25" in a simple, white contemporary wood frame, floated on white matboard, and under plexi (see image gallery). It is signed, titled, and dated on the back. It is wired and ready to hang. These work. particularly well in a series (see image gallery) -- please ask me about other available works. Murphy has exhibited internationally and extensively in the United States in museums, galleries and institutions including Philadelphia, New York, Chicago, Delaware, Minnesota, Washington and Oregon. Her work has been exhibited at institutions including the Philadelphia International Airport, Palm Springs Museum of Art, Biggs Museum of American Art, New Bedford Art Museum, Tacoma Art Museum, University of Pennsylvania and Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art. The recipient of numerous awards and grants, most notably a Percent for the Arts sculpture commission (Dublin, CA) the Pennsylvania Council for the Arts Fellowship and a Leeway Foundation award, she has been an artist-in-residence at Winterthur Museum (DE), Lacawac Field Station (PA), Powdermill Nature Reserve (PA), Hawk Mountain Sanctuary (PA), Vermont Studio Center (VT) and Pouch Cove Artist Residency (St. Johns, Newfoundland). Her work has been published in Symbiosis, New American Paintings and Fresh Paint Magazine. Murphy’s work can be found in various public and private collections including Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center Museum, Temple University, AlphaMed Press and Gamblin Artists Colors.
