With her new exhibition, A Night Thought, Colette Murphy offers a fresh perspective on the immigrant experience brought about by memories of her homeland in County Wexford, Ireland. Her paintings of chaotic seas and floating icebergs present the oceans unchained, exploring the arduous journey made by travelers from her hometown of New Ross to Newfoundland in the 18th and 19th century.

Colette lives in Brooklyn and was the recipient of the 2008 Estelle Levy Award and 2009 Tony Smith Award. Her solo exhibitions have run in New York, London, Berlin, Venice and Dublin. Her most recent exhibition Gone to Ground ran in Emerson Gallery, Berlin. Her work has been published in New American Paintings. She received her MFA from Hunter College in 2008.
