Annual Works of HeArt Auction Fund-Raiser
AIDS/HIV service organization’s fund-raiser will once again host a rousing auction. Murry’s donation has been juried into the live auction by the Director of the NC Museum of Art. Only 31 artists were selected out of hundreds who submitted.
The large acrylic painting Titled Smokies #2 is recognizable as a Handler work, with characteristic bold brushwork in a monochromatic palette. In addition to paintings, the gala auction includes jewelry, sculpture and photography. Be there to bid, be seen, be part of the action ……and maybe win a terrific piece of art! Murry’s 2010 contribution was a $3,500 retail price painting snapped up by a wise bidder at a bargain price.

Durham Art Guild is presenting its Annual Members Show. For this year’s event Murry has produced a new acrylic painting called Andromeda.
It’s part of the series Mythica, in which Murry uses a light wash of gesso and prismacolor pencil to ‘find’ the figure in the drips and pools of paint with which he captures the human form. The dream-like figures are evocative of mythical imagery.
