Nathan Murray Opening of Undercurrents

Come out and support Artist Nathan Murray is a socially engaged artist and educator working in Nebraska. His work explores
issues of race, ethnicity, and intersectionality, particularly how these aspects of identity are
expressed in people and their stories. Murray’s artistic practice centers on creating lifelike ceramic
sculptures that honor personal narratives while fostering community engagement and cultural
resilience. His process incorporates earthenware clay, underglazes, and acrylic washes to develop
refined forms and rich, layered surfaces that amplify the depth and individuality of his subjects.
He earned his Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in 2009 and his Master
of Fine Arts from the University of Florida in 2015. Murray has exhibited his work nationally and has
been widely published, including in the 2023 book Contemporary Black Ceramic Artists by Chotsani
Elaine Dean and Donald A. Clark!
