udith Murray was born in New York City in 1941. She began painting at an early age, partly as the result of a childhood illness that kept her indoors. Over the years, her painting developed into her passion and her profession. Thanks to this early start, as the art critic Lilly Wei has said, “Murray developed a series of obsessions, enthusiasms, and preoccupations” that ultimately enabled her to create her own personal visual signature. After completing her studies and receiving undergraduate and graduate degrees from the Pratt Institute in New York, Murray was hired as artist-in-residence by the United Sates Information Agency. She accompanied an exhibition of graphic art that traveled throughout Poland in 1965. During that time she completed a series of prints that gave definition to her work.

Murray was awarded a Guggenheim Foundation fellowship in 2002 and a National Endowment for the Arts grant in 1983. During the 1980s and 1990s, she was commissioned by Lincoln Center to produce three posters for its Mostly Mozart Festival. She creates works that have both depth of field and shallow ground. Her paintings are rich and complex in nature, embodying the lushness of the natural world in her contemporary abstract language.
