Join Chieko Murasugi in her studio as she demonstrates how to create a work that combines abstract painting and collage. Murasugi works with precise edges, flat shapes, and visual illusions in her works, which require many sketches and meticulous painting. She encourages others to collage, design, and paint according to their own sensibilities and vision.

About the artist

Chieko Murasugi was born in Tokyo, raised in Toronto, and based in San Francisco for 20 years before moving to North Carolina in 2012. She has degrees in experimental psychology and studio art. Murasugi has exhibited her work nationally in galleries and museums, and her paintings reside in the public collections of the City of Raleigh and Duke University. Recently, she was awarded a Hambidge Center residency and a North Carolina Arts Council artist support grant. She is a cofounder and cocurator of BASEMENT, a provisional, artist-run project space in Chapel Hill.
