By Alexia Beckerling, 8-26-08

Missoula is home to a plethora of artists who express themselves in a variety of media. Alexia Beckerling is venturing into the studios and performance venues of a handful of local artists and bringing back multimedia glimpses into their creative worlds.

Meet Molly Murphy, a descendant of the Oglala/Lakota tribe, who defines herself as a contemporary sculptural native beadwork artist. Murphy had a solo exhibition at the Missoula Art Museum in March, 2008.

Check out previous multimedia profiles of Missoula artists Marcy James, Jason Bohman, Jerry Baldwin, Marty Fromm, Valentina LaPier and Nan Bovingdon.
