About Dianne Murphy

Born 1958 in Dundee,Tayside,Scotland Trained at Dundee College of Art as a painter but became printmaker in the years after graduation. Specialise in colour inkedplate etchings and, to a lesser extent silkscreen monoprints.The Images of childhood form my visual language, a style developed during the final months at art college in Dundee, Scotland. However, it was only after graduating and creating a whole body of work from those initial pieces that I realised there was something more going on than a simple portrayal of my happy childhood. New pieces brought increasingly uneasy responses from others and it soon became obvious that the work had a dark and maybe macabre underlying nature.
