About The Artist

Carole Murphy’s award winning sculptures, have been shown nationally in such places as the Maryhill Museum, the Coos Bay Art Museum and the Contemporary Craft Museum in Oregon, New Mexico Gallery in Santa Fe, New Mexico, The Robert Paul Gallery in Burlington, Vermont, KGB Gallery in Scottsdale, Arizona and Brueton LA, in California. Moving from bronze figurative realism, Murphy’s art has morphed into a more organically fundamental aspect of form using cement, steel and mixed media. Introducing aerated cement, a green building material, into the art world as a serious medium, Murphy developed her own original patina formulas including a sprayed steel-skin finish. Murphy’s work was the featured article and on the cover of the Sculpture Journal and her published book, ‘The Sculpture of Carole Murphy’ has been well received. For over 10 years, Murphy has held various positions on the board of the Pacific Northwest Sculptors and has been their president for the past 5 years. Murphy has taught workshops at such places as the Northwest Stone Sculptor’s Association and Sitka Center for Art and Ecology and she continues to teach ongoing classes from her studio in Portland, Oregon, where many students have continued on to develop their own careers as sculptors.
