From Kathy: Kathy L. Murphy I paint my story so others can visualize their own story in these portals of my imagination and curiosity of the world I create, beauty! What is your favorite type of art to create? Mixed Media paintings. Where do you find inspiration? ========================= For me everything I have created in art has to do with a lifelong love for being out in nature and escaping into the wonderful world of literature around the globe. I was highly influenced by my teachers and librarians who recognized that I had a preposterous for the arts which including dancing, starring in school productions, creating backdrops for school plays, to contests of drawing regarding conservation of our natural resources in saving our planet. Art saved me as in was very shy, no more What would you do with $25,000? =========================== I would have the funds to continue to tell my story and journey in this thing we call life. Everyone has an artist in them but often times they are told they do not. Art is expression and I want to travel the world to tell my story and demonstrate anyone can create art. I have taught classes in expression, first to get them use to the main medium I use Alcohol Inks, once I see their style and direction I introduce ways to showcase their own unique voice and style.

My second memoir is coming out in the first week of May. It's called The Broken Mask of the Ruined Girl. Im so excited.

Rain came hard on Mott Street, pounding the pavement between Prince and E. Houston Street, turning the night into a blur of headlights, steam, and prayer. Diego De LaCruz drove past St. Patrick’s Old Cathedral, then stopped the cab beneath the streetlight, cut the engine, and stepped out into the storm. He crossed himself, hurried through the rain, went inside the church, got down on his knees, and began to pray, not for peace, because men like him rarely got peace, but for strength to face whatever waited in the dark. This is the world of The Night Driver. Old New York. Grit, danger, faith, and survival. Some men run from the storm. Diego walks into it.
