Today Rick showed himself through a small first grader
I introduced myself as Ms.Murphy
and this youngster said, Hi Ms. Murphy but after that
referred to me as Murph
I have not been called Murph since December 28th 2014 by Rick Page
what makes this so unusual
is that the art teacher said this child rarely speaks in class
and if he does, he has a stutter
5 times he called me Murph
and never once a stutter
Had a beautiful dinner with the B and B owners tonight
on the river
I feel I can gather my strength
and make it through this week
what brings me instant joy is painting again
and thinking of walks on the beach with the dogs
seeing friends
and giving and receiving LOVE
huge baskets of overflowing LOVE

About Me
- Martha McKinley Murphy
- Martha McKinley Murphy has been a painter and art enthusiast from the early age of 7. After attending St. Michael’s College in Burlington Vermont, she graduated cum laude with a degree in both English and Fine Arts in 1988. Not until she was in her 30’s did Ms. Murphy really pursue a career in the arts. She is both an Artist in Residence for The Southern Alleghenies Museum of Art, The Pennsylvania Council of the Arts and also works with Arts Path at Indiana University of Pennsylvania. She teaches Visual Arts encompassing everything from painting, sculpting, metal fabrication and clay works. Painting and creating can become a way of life way beyond any hobby or passing interest. Being an artist can be as simple and uncomplicated as eating and breathing. You wake up thinking of what you will make or create and your dreams are full of such visions. It has long been my desire (since age 7 really) to share the world as I see it. Painting, like meditating or listening to exceptional music is soothing and necessary for the soul.
