Murray paints and draws cups and saucers, tables and chairs, paints and brushes: objects of her surroundings, images of her domesticity, all literal evidence of her connection to a female world.
As Murray has built larger and more complicated shaped canvases, on and into which she devises illusion and deconstructs objects, the tension between inner and outer worlds extends beyond Murray, into the viewer's world: "the viewer is required to reconcile physical and visual forms with narrative."20 The result is ceaseless motion.
Elizabeth Murray: Paintings and Drawings (New York: Harry N Abrams, Inc. in association with the Dallas Museum of Art and the MIT Committee on the Visual Arts, 1987), 8, reflects that Murray's art is "subject to various internal and external pressures." Storr, on page 217, discusses "inward pulling and outward pressing forces" of Murray's work.

 Elizabeth Murray by Patricia Cleary
Elizabeth Murray was an unusual woman for her time, not necessarily because she was a shopkeeper -- she moved within the expected roles of women then and used her gender to further her goals, according to author Patricia Cleary, who has written a well-rounded biography, capturing the social, political, and historical aspects of Murray's life.
The orphaned Murray, one of five living children in her family, arrived in America from Scotland when she was 12 in 1739; her oldest brother, James, accompanied her and another brother, William, to North Carolina and served as their guardian.
Cleary shows Murray Campbell Inman Scott was independent and dependent; she lived a life of opposites, in one half a shopkeeper and the other a consumer, as well as maintaining loyalty to new and old worlds.

The subject of her work exposes her female experience and perspective, yet Murray insists that the primacy of her work is formal.

 Elizabeth Murray
Like her hero Paul Cézanne, Murray's work is a simultaneous celebration of and calibration of pure color, shape, texture, and paint.
Murray recently added a kooky, over-stuffed caricaturish shoe to the public art that dots the environs of UC San Diego.
