Hello and welcome to Rachel Murphy Art.
I’m a full time artist who lives in Northern Wisconsin. I work in a few different styles including Traditional Caricatures, Live Digital Caricatures and Oil Painting.
I love to draw!
In 1991 I got my professional start drawing Caricatures at Valley Fair in Minneapolis, Minnesota. I was trained by award winning caricature artist Tom Richmond. From 1995-2003 I traveled through out the United States drawing caricatures at State Fairs. Now I hire out for Live Digital or Airbrushed Caricatures at Trade Shows across the country. I also draw caricatures at local events in Duluth MN, Superior, Eau Claire, Green Bay, Wisconsin Dells, Rochester, Minneapolis, St. Paul and the Twin Cities Metro Area. In the Summers I have a booth set up near my home in Hayward, WI.
I love to paint!
My mother Marian Walker introduced me to oil painting, she had attended the Milwaukee School of Art in the 1950's . One day when I was about seven years old she set up her oil painting supplies in the kitchen, I remember the smell of turpentine when I walked into the room and "really" wanting to be involved. It soon became obvious to my mother that the only way she was going to get any painting done was to set me up with a brush and canvas of my own. We enjoyed painting together for the next 33 years.
In 2000 I had the good fortune to study under award winning Plein-Air artist Joe Paquet.
Joe introduced me to an approach of Plein-Air painting that centers around the prismatic palette.
along with the principles of structure, form and value.
I love to ride!
We have a small Hobby Ranch and enjoy raising, showing and camping with our Quarter Horses and two Border Collies. Our horses and camping trips are often the inspiration for many of my paintings.
