Born in Canada and the daughter of an artistic, theatrical family, Sarah Murphy was raised in a world intensely focused on colour and form and imagination.

Her unique style, “magical realism”, fuses the two in a spirited blend of realism and impressionism.
Sarah Murphy creates her own language, which goes beyond stylistic constraints and captures her intense spirit and playfulness. It has often been said about her colorful work, that she has taken Matisse and gone further. Her variety of paintings points out the versatility of an artist who moves from still life to figurative without compromising her identy. Ms. Murphy has developed a unique vocabulary of palette and styly that she employs with enticing effect as she explores her primary theme, the timeless world of colour.
