When Looking through the gallery of her work this one caught my eye the most. It is called "Rock in Sea, Connemara" I really like the colors that she picked for this Batik. I think its interesting that she used orange as an accent for the rock in the sea. I think that that texture that she created for the water is very pretty too, I ould tell it was water before I even looked at the title, i think it is a very interesting interpretation of water ripples. Also, the reflection of the rock in the water is done very nicely. You can tell that she depicted this scene when it was darker in the day time, probably at sunset or on a cloudy day.Mary Lee Murphy is a Batik artist. Also she does not like to be considered that. She like that tell people that she is a painter and that her medium is dye and wax. She is a leading contemporary Batik artist from Ireland. She studied fine art in Sligo which is where she current works out of her studio in the country side. Mary's work is widely acclaimed and is on display in many public and private collections. Her subject matter that she liked to work with is landscape and the human form which she uses to express what is inside her. Mary like to work with a variety of clothes such as cotton, silk, and linen. She likes to apply the wax in her batiks with brushes.
