| Deirdre's work will be on view at PHL for a full year! |
The Philadelphia International Airport has selected Deirdre Murphy's series, Sky Paintings, for a yearlong exhibition. Deirdre is an accomplished alum and fine arts lecturer at University of Pennsylvania in painting and drawing.
The collection featuring paintings that explore the patterns, murmurations and energy of bird flocks, her career-long artistic focus, and will be on display in late January 2014 and run through the end of the year. The exhibition, which will be located between Terminals C and D, near the moving walkway across from the Star Alliance Lounge, marks one of Murphy’s most visible exhibitions to date.
The airport as a venue for Murphy’s artwork is a natural fit. Her love of travel combined with her artwork, which features an exploration of birds and the human connection to the larger natural world, makes the airport a perfect location to display her dynamic, colorful artwork. "Philadelphia International Airport is thrilled to show Deirdre Murphy's Sky Paintings series in 2014,” said Leah Douglas, Director of Exhibitions at the airport. “Her paintings, with their themes of nature and in particular, the skycapes accentuated with birds and kite-like elements in flight, are a perfect fit for the airport traveler. Her exhibition features work with color-filled compositions, rooted in a sense of motion, that will captivate travelers as they ready themselves fort their own experiences in flight."

Maybe Penn could organize a trip so we could get past security to see it.
