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 are 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.
Currently Living and Working as an Art Director in Los Angeles California.
