Local artist wrangles in talent
Murphy’s artwork on
display at Hermiston
library
By TAMMY MALGESINI
COMMUNITY EDITOR
A
n interest in art was
sparked at an early
age for Andrea Mur-
phy as she would gaze upon
her mother’s (Linda Phil-
lips) work adorning their
Hermiston home.
“She had some nice pen
and ink horses on the walls
that she had drawn, and she
used to sketch these cute lit-
tle horses for my sister and
me,” Murphy said. “I think
we drove her crazy asking
for them.”
Murphy went on to
take drawing and painting
classes at Hermiston High
School, where she grad-
uated in 2004. Later, she
studied art at Blue Moun-
tain Community College
and Portland Community
College.

display during the month
of February at the Herm-
iston Public Library, 235
E. Gladys Ave. The library
is open Monday through
Thursday from 10 a.m. to
7 p.m. and Friday-Saturday
from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Specializing in acrylic
equine art, Murphy said she
enjoys other subjects and
media, but her main inspira-
tion is the colorful western
lifestyle. She describes her-
self as a wife, mother of two
boys and an ENFP — refer-
ring to the Myers-Briggs
Type Indicator, it stands
for Extroversion, Intuition,
Feeling, and Perceiving.

The Office of State Fire
Marshal will present a pair
of awards during the 2019
Oregon Fire Marshal Con-
ference in May. Jim Walker,

Oregonians who have made
significant
contributions
and encourages the public
to inform his office.
The Golden Sparky rec-
ognizes a member of fire ser-
vice and the Silver Sparky
goes to a civilian person or
group. In 2018, Gretchen
Erickson, fire safety edu-
cator for Umatilla County
Fire District #1, received
the Golden Sparky and the
Silver Sparky went to the
Pendleton Lions Club.
The nomination dead-
line is Friday, March 15.

“It’s thrilling and terrify-
ing, which seems ironic for
an art event,” she said. “I
get to paint alongside some
well-known Western and
wildlife artists. It is hum-
bling and enriching every
time.”
Murphy
especially
enjoys the opportunity to
meet the people who pur-
chase her work — calling it
“an unspoken connection.”
Some of her work was
recently on display at the
Hamley Western Store in
Pendleton. In addition, she
maintains a presence on
social media. In addition
to making some sales and
commissions, Murphy said
it results in some valuable
connections.
