Born in Bellingen NSW, Mufford has recently returned to Gumbaynggirr country on the North Coast after 20+ years in Sydney.  Working predominantly in 2D, her labour-intensive, geometric abstractions are informed by Eastern and Western pattern systems, juxtaposing intuitive processes of staining and mark making with hard edge geometry. 

Trained at the Australian National University, Canberra School of Art, with postgraduate studies at the University of Technology Sydney, Mufford has been exhibiting nationally for three decades, with solo exhibitions at Liverpool St Gallery Project Space and AirSpace Projects in Sydney and group at project Space Byron School of Art and Glasshouse Regional Gallery.

This year Mufford jointly coordinated the 3 Year Art + Science Collaboration, The White Bluff project in partnership with the Coffs Harbour Regional Gallery. Most recently she has been finalist in The Alice prize, 2022 Libris awards and Hazelhurst Art on Paper. She has been a finalist in the Hazlehurst Art on Paper (commended), Jacaranda Acquisitive Drawing Award and winner of the commendation prize at the Banyule Works on Paper Award in Melbourne. Her projects have taken her to residencies in Italy and research trips to Iran, India and Southern Spain where she explored Islamic and pre-Islamic art and architecture. 

"Mufford has a show that succeeds admirably in replacing Cezanne's celebrated dispassion with, well, passionfruit. And grapes and plums...these paintings so openly announce their intention to seduce you that it is almost embarrassing standing there letting it happen."  Pulitzer  Prize writer and Critic, Sebastian Smee
