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.

Belted Kingfishers - The kingfisher was the symbol of the old city of Halifax, NS and was flown on the city's flag in recognition of the fishing industry once based here.  Acrylic on beachstone



Atlantic Puffin - A comical-looking small sea bird found along rocky cliffs along the coast of Nova Scotia.  This beachstone from Cape Breton was split in half, so I painted a different sea bird on each side.  Acrylic on beachstone




Osprey-  Another great fisherman, this one is the provincial bird of Nova Scotia.  The other half of stone showing the puffin.  Acrylic on Beachstone
