Before establishing her studio practice, Murphree spent more than a decade working in industrial design and product management. That foundation continues to influence her work through an emphasis on form, craftsmanship, and the relationship between objects and the environments they inhabit.
Each piece is hand-built using traditional ceramic techniques and finished with carefully considered glazes that balance bold color, texture, and materiality. Her work explores themes of identity, connection, and playfulness, inviting viewers to find familiarity and emotion in simplified forms and exaggerated features.
Murphree's work has been featured in Luxe Interiors + Design, Veranda, Nashville Interiors, StyleBlueprint, and Nashville PBS. Her sculptures are held in private collections throughout the United States and have been exhibited in galleries and design-focused spaces nationwide. In addition to her studio practice, she creates large-scale installations and public art projects that encourage interaction and community engagement.
From intimate residential interiors to large public spaces, Murphree's work is designed to spark conversation, create connection, and bring a distinctive sense of character to the places people gather.
