"A Tree is a Passage Between the Earth and Sky"
Dawn Murtaugh is the artist who is currently featured in our Begley Art Gallery. Murtaugh is a multifaceted woman with seemingly boundless amounts of energy and a zest for life that has followed her from Chicago, to Italy, to our very own Evansville. Her textile pieces, which pay homage to the textile artists who came before her, are created through an intricate process using reclaimed materials. The best part? All of the proceeds of her work are donated to nonprofits, serving those in need. She quite generously found some time in her busy schedule amidst moving house and creating artwork to sit down with me for an interview.
