| Elaine Murphy at the Waldock Gallery in Dublin, Ireland
Elaine Murphy, daughter of Mike Murphy, has always displayed a distinct passion for creative drawing and design. While studying at the National College of Art in Dublin she won special awards and much recognition for her work.
After performing as a high fashion model in Dublin and London, Elaine became a prime illustrator for the renowned fashion designer Zandra Rhodes. At the same time she designed and illustrated for many women's high fashion magazines such as Image, Woman's Way, and U.
Her Art is primarily focused on modern abstract art and the female form. A collector best described her paintings as "loose and fluid, with emotional overtones conveyed by elegant lines." The combination of abstraction and bold figurative lines conspire to make her expressions truly unique. Her paintings can be found in many private and celebrity collections.
