Inside the magical Chelsea studio and hardworking home of artist Suzy Murphy

Virginia Clark, House and Garden, November 10, 2025

‘I spend far, far more time in my studio than I do in my house,’ says Suzy Murphy. ‘It’s my most personal space, far more than my home. When you walk into an artist's studio, you walk into their brain because everything that is there is either what I have created or I'm going to create.’ Indeed when she has a show coming up, Suzy retreats from her nearby house to the studio full time during the week, cooking in the kitchen and sleeping in the mezzanine bedroom, surrounded by canvases large and small.
