Marilyn Murphy is an amazing woman. My grandparents own a painting done by her of a cane field on fire against this rich, velvety black sky. It's glorious. She's a friend of theirs; Her husband is this insane dude named Wayne Roland Brown. He's a Kiwi recording artist, and owns an opal mine in New Zealand somewhere. He can play didgeridoo like a madman. Marilyn's graphite skills are only riveled by her oil skills. Lady's a champ. She recently (by recently I mean like three years ago) had an exhibit at the Frist Museum in Nashville about 'dangerous desserts'. It was splendid.
These are, indeed, some great drawings. I was not familiar with her. I'll have to look her up.
