I paint and build art as a method of grounding myself. Inspiration comes from my environment and the energy and emotion derived from my own sensory experiences. The art that I make tends to emphasize the energy, movement, and emotion that I derive from a scene and images often lean toward abstractions in vibrant color.
Karen Murphy: Look Up, Make Space
84 photos 4.5′ square, printed on bamboo paper and mounted on cold pressed watercolor paper made into an accordion book. An artist, teacher and single mom with an overfull life, has created these images in the fragments of time between the crowd of joys and burdens and in the break from pushing forward and staying focused. These images document the spirit’s determination to create and exist in an open space. A quiet meditation on shifting focus, on breathing in and breathing out, on looking up and within, on making a peaceful space inside of a busy one where silence and stillness heals if only for a few seconds.
