About the Art
What the artist saysFigurative work especially allows for the possibility of empathy, recalling each viewer to the unifying experience of being human.
Why we like itAn entire world depicted in your hand: quiet streets and lived-in light are abstracted with Katie’s textured palette.
Where we hang itThis miniature work acts like a jewel rather than a focal point: it offers a daily moment of stillness and escape wherever you choose to hang it.
About the Artist
Katie Murphy
Katie Murphy’s process is rooted in expression and experimentation, and manifests most often figuratively and in vivid color. Working primarily with oils, her work is influenced by her gendered experience growing up in the American South and focuses on juxtaposing themes of propriety and wildness, interior domestic spaces and nature, and containment and movement. She explores the push and pull of space, specifically through the paradox of the home and its conflicting ability to both comfort and isolate. Murphy currently lives and works in Johnson City, TN. She holds a BFA in Studio Art and is currently working towards her MFA at the Maryland Institute College of Art.“I love color and the energy and expression it holds. I like to swim around in the depths of a single color at times, searching for all that it can communicate.”
