BIO
Bio
Erin Murphy lives and works in Florence, Italy.
Born in the US and educated in Rhode Island, New York and Florence, she has resided in Italy for more than half her life.
An artist and educator, Erin has been exhibiting and teaching for over 20 years.
All of her diverse bodies of work are united by the central themes of observation, presence and time.
Whether it be charcoal on paper, watercolor, pens, found materials or traditional oil painting, the medium is chosen according to the expressive qualities required for the subject at hand.
Daily practice is a fundamental part of her process.
Goodbye Florence
Erin Murphy’s exhibit, “Goodbye Florence” is a selection of cityscapes of our beloved city.
The title refers to the part of Florence which is disappearing and is invisible to everyone except those who live here.
Along with the many businesses that have closed, too many artists and artisans are also having to pack up and leave.
Florence is at risk of becoming a beautiful empty shell. In Italy’s national dialog, it is often being likened to Venice. But we at the Arts Inn believe that we are still in time to sustain, protect and nurture the heart and soul of Florence- the artists. The online exhibitions are our way of doing just that.
We encourage you to consider giving the gift of artwork this year so that we can all continue to share our unique and special gifts with each other.
