Artist Bio
Kate Murphy is an artist living in Gardner, Massachusetts. Kate’s vibrant mixed media paintings reveal complex yet ambiguous narratives of a cubist reality.  “Through abstract symbols, figures, and ideas I want to offer a sociological perspective on different issues.  My artwork often represents those who are most often unheard in our society; giving voice to those who are misjudged or labeled.”
 
 
 
 
 
 
Current accomplishments involving Kate’s artwork are:
In 2015, mixed media painting "Cultural Relativity" won first prize at the 11th Annual College Show for ArtsWorcester at the Aurora Gallery in Worcester.  More recently, Kate's mixed media painting "The Indeterminacy and Total Control of Low Flying, Plain Janes " recieved the Saara Parker Painting Prize at the Fitchburg Art Museum's 80th Regional Exhibition of Arts and Craft.
