Marilyn Murphy, Member 41,144, is an Artist and Professor of Art Emerita at Vanderbilt University.  The drawing above was created with graphite in 2026 and is entitled “Cloud Factory”.  Marilyn told us, “I have spent my life surrounded by remarkable clouds.  Growing up on the Great Plains in the heart of Tornado Alley in the US, I am now mesmerized by the dream-like sky of Whangarei, New Zealand.  The artwork I produce is influenced by my environment, reading and my experiences. I love factory tours, books, old magazines from prior to mid-20th century and obsolete equipment.  Why not combine them all?”
