Wendy Murray is a visual artist and arts educator formerly known as Mini Graff. Utilising the former persona, Murray worked as an urban street poster artist between 2003-2010. From 2014 Murray's art expanded into traditional forms of drawing and artist book design, whilst still engaging with social and political issues through poster making. The artist's use of letraset transfers in graphic design, alongside vibrant colours and fluorescent inks, references the work of studios from the 1960s through to the 1980s, including the community-based Earthworks Poster Collective and Redback Graphix. The 2018 collaboration with The Urban Crew - a 17 person collective of socially engaged geographers, planners, political scientists and sociologists - resulted in the Sydney - We Need to Talk! artist book, addressing issues of development, transport congestion, housing affordability and commercialisation of public space.
