Inspired by a poem written 30 years ago, The Magnificent Artist, birthed a whole new direction for Irene Prins-Murphy. Former educator with 28 years experience in childcare, she put her story-telling talents into a series of books. Her newest entitled, The Magnificent Artist: Spreading the Word, in which Ted the Slug finds venturing out into the big wide world a bit of a challenge. Beloved characters from book one, Bella the Butterfly and Robin the Bird, are on hand to show Ted the way and introduce him to the Artist who made him.
“I still find myself in the classroom, now and again just so I can tell stories and inspire children to love all that God has created and I especially love reading to my grandchildren.” You don’t have to be family to hear Irene read one of her stories (and many of her favorites) to you. YouTube is now home to “Story Time with Oma Murphy,” where you might even hear a song to two from her musician/songwriter husband, Gene. Irene and Gene live in Maple Ridge near beautiful Vancouver, British Columbia, where family is number one, whom they love “to the moon and back.”
