This work was commissioned by Um alumni magnus and Velma Aasheim. Murphy reflected that the qualities of, “honor and integrity [will] guide my depiction of Mike Mansfield. From my personal remembrance of this man and his works on behalf of the people of the State of Montana and the people of the United States, the word honorable is the depiction in bronze I envision, it [is] my desire to depict Maureen Mansfield in a loving manner on a level of partnership with her husband… Mike credited her with all the success that he achieved, especially in his political career.”
