It would be easy to disregard my work as girlish and unserious. But the paintings are deadly serious. The womxn in my paintings are fighting for their lives and minds. But I want them to be seen as decoration, too. I want them to be ruthless good luck charms, warding off danger. The flowers in the paintings—asters—were once kept in homes to ward off evil spirits; if nothing else the paintings will remind their viewers that they are not alone in their pain, and the attempt to heal is a hopeful, worthy endeavor.

The frame does not include glass, but the paper is mounted to archival foam board and sprayed with protective fixative.

Artist Meg Lionel Murphy’s paintings are informed by debilitating PTSD from severe domestic violence. Over the past few years, she has compulsively painted heartbroken femmes that magically grow larger, stronger, and scarier than the world around them. As the paintings grow in number, she grows just a little larger, stronger, and scarier too. Meg works from rural Wisconsin. She splits her time painting between a little blue shack in a junkyard and the storefront artist collective, The Yellow Room.
