K.C. Murphy comes to Ex’pression off a long trail through the digital forest. With experience in a variety of digital art fields including CDI, CDROM, Web production, and print work, K.C. eventually was recruited to the Bay Area from Iowa to work on video games. She was able to contribute Environment Art and Technical Direction for years on such award-winning games as Mission:Impossible, Running Wild, VaporTRX, Hydro Thunder, Pit Droids, The Gungan Frontier, Anakin’s Speedway, and SuperBombad Racing for companies like Ocean of America, Infogrames, Atari, Blue Shift, LucasFilm, and Lucas Learning. Additionally, she spent a year in Germany creating the environments for a children’s television pilot with a small team form America.

K.C.’s work in such varied fields has brought invaluable lessons with each experience. Joining Ex’pression in 2001, she continues to explore the breadth of experience Digital Art has to offer. Beyond teaching classes and managing employees, organizing tours of a growing list of Bay Area production houses such as DoubleFine, Pixar, PDI/Dreamworks, and Electronic Arts, as well as a membership with the Visual Effects Society, K.C. continues to solidify her relationship with the industry, and enable students to open their eyes to the possibilities in this field.
