Ro Murray is a multi-disciplinary artist, who moves between Mt Victoria, Sydney and Killcare. Her art practice is influenced by a career in architecture and later attending the National Art School. Since 2018 her practice has focussed on lino printing, both with uncarved blocks of colour and with carved blocks. She builds series of unique and repeated prints. Ro has enlarged her prints into wall paintings and wall constructions. Her recent lino prints on pianola rolls connect narrative and place in a landscape journey. They combine personal experiences of the location with topographic and historical research.
Ro has staged many solo exhibitions and been selected for many art prizes and awards. In the last year her printed rolls were selected for the Canberra Art Biennial, Arte Laguna Prize Venice, and Artist Book Awards Manly Library, and acquired by the State Library NSW.
She is part of the mountains-based collaboration Murray and Burgess making installations about the environment, and a committee member of Modern Art Projects Blue Mountains.
