Margaret E. Murray

Margaret E. Murray is inspired by living next to the vast, relentless Pacific.  Her printmaking work aims to bring attention to the beauty and wonder of natural environments, with a focus on oceans, sea life, and marshland habitats.

She was educated in printmaking at the City College of San Francisco, KALA Art Institute, Crown Point Press, and the San Francisco Center for the Book.  She works in copper plate and photopolymer etching, etched linoleum, and monotype.  Pressing ink into paper is a thrill hard-wired into her by her great-grandfather, who was a Scottish letterpress man.
