Lauri Lynnxe Murphy began her artistic career at the Arvada Center as part of the Jeffco High School Art Exhibition while attending Green Mountain High School in the 90s. In the thirty years since her artistic debut, Murphy has developed an impressive career as an artist known for collaborating with creatures like snails, bees, and beetles to create a sprawling body of work deeply rooted in the natural world.
Alongside her robust studio practice, Murphy has spent her life building community and DIY gallery spaces and advocating for artists. Her work is research-driven and science-based, and it focuses on insect extinction, mutation, climate change, and biophilia.
Murphy is currently a resource artist at RedLine Denver and recently completed an installation at Meow Wolf’s Denver location Convergence Station and is a past recipient of Westword’s Mastermind Award. Murphy’s work has exhibited in past Arvada Center exhibitions such as Paper.Works, Wood.Works, and the Fine Art Market.
