“Sometimes we stumble across certain events, songs, movies, landscapes, or people that contain a sort of echo of something infinitely precious that we feel we’ve always been looking for. If found in a painting, people say, “That’s it! That’s the one.” And I suppose that my art and my life is mostly a pursuit of and attempt to remain faithful to these things that seem to have almost chosen me before I ever chose them. So through paint, I love what has chosen me, and sometimes others fall in love with that too.” —Tyler Murphy
