In 2014, the BYRDCLIFFE Kleinert and James Center held a retrospective of her art works and she won the Robert De Niro Sr. Prize.

Jennifer Samet (: you're very young age to become an artist.Why are you so decided?Childhood
experience do you have what kind of art, on the paintings and sculptures?
Catherine Murphy: basic, not exposed to art when I was a child., I was born in Lexington,
Massachusetts, I haven't been to the museum until high school.I see a lot of magazines, I want to
be an illustrator.My physique is not sports, so I prefer to hide in the home with paint, rather than
go out.I've always liked.Besides the two pictures in my home without any art.Many years later I
from one gain inspiration, created the early influences.But when I was in junior high school, my
sister is registered John Canaday told "metropolitan art curriculum", they will send us a lot of
things.It was my first time to seriously consider painting, though the only copies.But that is my
moment of enlightenment.
