"Susan Murrell is an emerging artist from Hood River, Oregon who will create two related eclectic and detailed installations for the gallery. Murrell uses invented biomorphic imagery to create a visual language to explore the acquisition and recall of knowledge. Her large-scale installations contain watercolor and pen drawings, gouache paintings on vellum, latex sculptures, encaustic and printmaking. Murrell's installation process will be open to the public as she creates her piece. Sheppard Gallery invited three undergraduate and graduate students to work as Murrell's assistants, an honor which gives our students first-hand knowledge of an artist's process."
