Gradients of Growth by Deirdre Murphy – Opening Reception

Gradients of Growth, a solo exhibition by artist
Deirdre Murphy, examines the impact of the
Anthropocene climate on tree cavity-nesting birds
and East Coast pollinator species through paintings and monoprints, focusing on ecological hope and
environmental healing. Inspired by nest cavities found during her residency at the Lower Merion Conservancy, Murphy’s paintings feature portal views of natural scenes, while her print series, drawing from the Lehigh University Trembley Herbarium collection, highlights the significance of herbariums in climate change
research. Murphy’s work emphasizes the importance
of awareness and collective effort in healing our warming earth.
