BIO

Hailing from the swamps and tundra of Milwaukee Wisconsin, Evan Ross Murphy's works reflect symbolic discovery and mastery of diverse theoretical landscapes. Envisioning frontier worlds where primitive skill sets still needed, and are won from native guides and hardship. With a style informed by his own gathering of these skills, his works, from painting's and sculpture, to music and film act as a map for adventuring through his, and our world.
