I am humbled by the thought of new beginnings
a little fearful
and then I was reminded today
by a dynamic, young, blind girl
that life is a journey
not a destination
India Scott
in your beautiful way
you reminded me that life is a gift
that each day is a present
to face your fears
like a fierce tiger
and to make every stumbling block
into a stepping stone
your gift to me today
was not just what you made for me
but how I honored I am to have made you my friend
You have the soul of a wise person
I can only hope to continue
to learn all the things
you translate with love and truth

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.
