Meghan Murray (b. 1994, Massachusetts) is an artist, educator, and administrator based just outside of Boston, MA. She received her BS in Studio Art from Skidmore College in 2016 and her MFA in Painting from Boston University in 2022. Her representational painting practice embodies and simultaneously intervenes upon historical tradition. Murray’s most recent work is a continued investigation into intergenerational American ideals and clichés as viewed in the mid-century family photo album. Her paintings have been on view at such spaces as Abigail Ogilvy (Boston), Morgan Lehman (NYC), Attleboro Art Museum, Boston University’s Sloane House, and virtually with newcube art through Future Fairs. She is a recipient of the 2022 Blanche E. Colman award for New England artists and was awarded second place in the 2023 Miami University Young Painters competition by juror John Yau.
