Daniel Murphy

After several years of traditional drawing and painting, artist Danny Murphy decided to parlay his way into 3D artwork as an alternative way of expression. His sculptures are made from Strathmore Bristol papers– cutting, bending and gluing the three-dimensional forms together until the desired shape, often a butterfly, is formed. He uses acrylic washed to stain and varnish each piece, forcing light, shadow, and a bit of realism to each piece. His portfolio, for whatever reason is full of butterflies in funny places: Inside tins, atop Starbucks cups and in cages. Very nice work!
