Growing up with gardener parents, designer Katie Ridley Murphy fueled her creative energy from nature at a young age, and her appreciation for horticulture only blossomed as she got older. “When my husband and I bought our first house, I became a plant lady,” says Murphy. “It’s so beautiful to witness the leaves start to crack and holes penetrating the outer layers.” Murphy captures the life cycle of a leaf in varying hand-carved sculptures, where no two are ever the same.
