An engagement with materials and with the body is at the heart of MacMurray’s work.  Working in installation and sculpture she has gained a reputation for poetic site-specific interventions in historic spaces.

Drawing is an important part of MacMurray’s practice. In addition to her large scale pen & ink work she extends the possibilities of making drawings using unconventional materials.  She also makes pen & ink drawings on a more intimate scale and produces sculptural wall pieces and other work for private commissions.

Susie MacMurray is represented in the UK & Europe by Merville Galleries, and in North and South America by Danese Corey Gallery.
