Orlagh Murphy is based in Co Cavan and started concentrating in 2010 on her studio practice after  working  freelance as an interior decorative artist in the US, Italy, Japan, UK and Ireland.  Orlagh now lives in a very rural area of Co Cavan and this has formed the basis for her work to date. The inspiration  comes from  an area of about 4-8sq kilometers comprising  of farmland, river, lake and bog land which surround her home, she also produces work from the West  of Ireland; always  in a direct response to the seasons.
