Welcome

Welcome to Joe Murphy's art.

I am Nova Scotian artist here on the Atlantic coast of Canada. Much of my art reflects my love for the beauty of this rugged, maritime province and of the people who live here.

Most of the art shown here has already been sold, donated or was commissioned. I would be happy to hear from anyone who likes my style of art and would like a piece of art created for your personal enjoyment or as a special gift for someone.
