Rachael K Murphy, printmaker, and painter, lives and works in Maine. She is a recent graduate from the University of Maine in Orono with a BFA in Studio Art with a concentration in Printmaking & Painting and a BA in Art Education. She finds inspiration in Maine ecosystems and how human activity impacts wildlife. On the surface, viewers can appreciate the complexity of patterns and carefully rendered animals. A viewer must spend time with each piece to fully understand the gravity of Maine’s beauty in crisis.
