Marshland Glow

Through glazing and scumbling, oil painter Karen Murphy manipulates her medium to create atmospheric landscapes

- Karen Murphy

My painting process begins with imagination, drawing inspiration from the landscapes I experience daily. Living in a coastal community, I'm deeply moved by the ever-changing beauty of salt marshes, ocean waves and the subtle interplay of light and color in these spaces.

While my work is not tied to specific places, it is rooted in the essence of the natural world, shaped by the feelings these environments evoke.
