Meet Kay (Swyers) Murphy
Childhood
Between my birthplace in the Appalachian Mountains and my childhood home in the Ozark Highlands, I have always had a love for two things: nature and art.
Early On
I started doing commissions when I was 14, which were mostly paintings of wildlife, landscapes, pets, and cake decorating. My weekends were filled with family outings of camping, hunting, and fishing.
College
In 2019, I enrolled at the University of Missouri, graduating with a Bachelors Degree in Fine Arts. Throughout my four years, I continued painting for my student ministry and creating digital art for the Mizzou Study Abroad program. I spent as much time as I could outdoors, always looking forward to deer camp with my family
Open Air Studio
My art has always been influenced by the beauty of nature. After graduating in 2022, I had made up my mind: I would use my passion for art to capture God's most beautiful creations. I encourage you to check out my gallery, and I hope you enjoy my work!
