Bridget Murphy

Bridget Murphy is involved in the creative process through painting, printmaking, mixed media, and design. The inspiration for her current artwork is drawn from her personal reflections on landscapes, flora, architecture, and events. Exploring and studying the surrounding spaces sparks her imagination. As an artist, the awareness and appreciation of the smallest object adds variety and excitement to her paintings and intaglio prints. Through the creative process, a personal visual vocabulary of shapes, surface textures, space, lines, and color unfolds. Her award-winning artwork has been exhibited regionally and nationally.

Bridget is also a member of Discover Graphics Atelier in Virginia. She is a Professor Emeritus in the Graphic and Media Design program at Marymount University. She earned an MFA in painting and communication design from Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) and a BFA degree at Saint Mary’s College, Notre Dame, IN. Bridget grew up in Washington, D.C. and currently lives in Alexandria, VA.
