Christopher Murphy
 Christopher Murphy creates non-objective paintings because it offers the purest vehicle for expressing the metaphysical and spiritual aspects of the human experience that so fascinate him. He applies his own unique form of expression by painting actively and dynamically to chart his explorations of the unseen. Murphy’s love of art and passion for creating has always been with him. From his earliest days growing up in Florida, he showed a natural ability in the visual arts. His parents encouraged him and by his senior year of high school, he had won several state art competitions. His hard work led to a major scholarship from the Columbus College of Art and Design. In 2004, Murphy enrolled in Graduate School at Georgia Southern University. He excelled as an art student there and worked his way through college as a teaching assistant for the art department. While in school he continued to show his work throughout the southeast. In 2007, Murphy was awarded his MFA. After earning his Master of Fine Arts degree, intuition led Murphy to move to Charleston. On earlier visits, he sensed the vitality of the city and its natural surroundings. |
