Watercolour on canvas

760mm H x 610mm W

Joni Murphy draws deep inspiration from the natural world, informed by living specimens gathered from her immediate surroundings. Through close observation and seasonal recording using watercolour and ink, she works on a large scale, creating tranquil yet dynamic pieces on canvas. Her multi-layered compositions invite the viewer to step into each scene, offering a sense of immersion and quiet energy.
Joni's work seeks to evoke nostalgic memories of wildflower dells, native bush, and untamed forests. At its heart, her practice highlights the essential connection between humans and plant life—emphasising not only our physical dependence on the botanical world, but also its vital role in supporting our emotional and spiritual well-being.
