[3] Born in Vancouver, British Columbia, and raised in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, he has lived in the United States since 1960.
"[3] He moved to New York City in 1960 on a Canada Council grant,[5] and although he had never studied sculpture in the formal sense, began to produce modernist, elegant, brightly colored welded-metal constructions.
[3]Murray's earliest sheet-metal sculptures were large-scale upright columnar configurations that were made by cutting and bending steel plates to form angles and corners.
[10] But a reviewer of a recent show, Models, Paintings and Sculpture, much of it completed in the last three years, at Studio 21 Fine Art, Halifax, wrote that, when well executed, a Modernist like Murray can still make objects that achieve a "clarity and sureness that is somehow comforting".
