I have had chronic migraines for over twenty years of my life, Murray says.

The artist describes the series of paintings as having anAlice in Wonderlandfeeling to them.

Each forest scene shows a world of magnified color, which borders on fantasy.

This heavy contrast makes each piece from the series stand out as a unique visual encounter.

As a result, these kaleidoscopic paintings have anAlice in Wonderlandfeeling to them.
