Artist Statement:
Art permits us to experience the world through a different pair of
eyes and lose ourselves in the interpretation we give to the art we
admire. As an artist I feel very fortunate to be able to explore and
express my cognitive and emotional experiences of the subjects that
move me and relay these through paint and drawing. St. Margaret's
Bay has provided those wonderful meditative experiences which you
see in these works. I am influenced and guided by nature and our
planet Earth, precious home to all of us.

Bio
Info
I grew up in New Brunswick, however my ancestral roots are in Melanson
Settlement near Port Royal. I have been living in Nova Scotia since 1985 and
have been living in Boutiliers Point on St. Margaret's Bay since 2000 with my
husband Mike Murphy.
Upon graduation from high school, I was torn between going into fine arts or
science. I decided to study science and completed a B.Sc. in biology and then a
Bachelors degree in education and eventually an M.Ed.
After a 35 year work career in the public and private sectors I am now finally
concentrating all my time exploring my life passion: creating art, an interest
that began in childhood. I have taken numerous art classes beginning in high
school, at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design and, other learning
workshops along the way from artists I admire.
My art is a journey of expressions and explorations. I see incredible colours
and forms in all that I observe and see life and beauty in everything (the
biologist in me). The rocks, waves and fog in St Margaret's Bay provide the
perfect atmosphere for introspection and inspiration. I work in watercolour,
ink, acrylic and oil pastel and most of all, I like mixing and experimenting.
