DISCOVERY
Jen Murphy is an artist of transformation. In her seventeen years of experience serving both industry and private clientele she has honed her extraordinary talent for color and light into a tool of discovery. Her passion for beauty is equaled by her instinct for subtlety, and her forte is the natural look. Her goal is to create the most delicate or vivid physical embodiment of every person who sits in her makeup chair.
EMBODIMENT
Jen knows that seeing is not just believing, but becoming. Being on camera or on stage requires that one become a performer, and she not only understands the difficulties of this task but can ease them with her sense of calm and skillful creation of the look of the character. When models, actors, and performers see their physical transformation at Jen's hands, they embody their roles more completely. When she works with private clients for bridal sessions or private lessons, she helps them realize the most beautiful and confident aspects of themselves. In portraiture, she listens to, watches for and feels intuitively what clients want the world to see of themselves, their families or their businesses. She can enhance or create the essential qualities of any look, whether fanastic or real, editorial or refined.
PROFESSIONALISM
Jen appreciates the intimacy and trust involved in her work and strives for the utmost professionalism in every project. She pursues her skills through advanced professional trainings, the study of current trends and creative collaboration, and is known in the business for her warmth, playfulness and style. Jen finds inspiration for her art just about everywhere, especially in color and in people, and is deeply in love with life.
