The renowned painter Elizabeth Murray takes us on a tour of her studio, explains the use of her tools, shows us some of her favorite paintings and walks us through the creation of her art from inspiration, through sketches to the construction of her unusual three dimensional pieces. She talks of her early interest in art, the support of her family and encourages us all to see art in everyday objects. In a special section she takes us into the Museum of Modern Art in New York where she compares and contrasts paintings by Picasso, Jasper Johns and Andy Warhol and others.

Elizabeth Murray died at her home in New York on August 12, 2007.
