Murphy Welch is a Portland based artist. His work is a search for commonality, an exemplification of the totality within us all, and a pursuit of a visual language of awakening. Every piece is an attempt to create a window into the ineffable. His mediums include: sculpture, furniture, video, illustration, and installations.
All work is for sale unless previously claimed and commissions are welcome.
