About Orlagh M Murphy

 
 
  • Biography
    I am a professional artist practicing from both my studio and in the en plein air tradition.  Working in oils using both brush and palette knife; all paintings are completed in one sitting or alla prima as it is termed. My inspiration comes from the very rural area I live in; the hedgerows, boglands lakes and rivers have all have formed the basis of my work to date. I love what I do and feel very privileged to be an artist. All paintings are priced in accordance with gallery and exhibition prices taking into consideration they are unframed.
    I hope you enjoy looking at my work and feel inspired to buy!
    Thank you for supporting practicing artists without your support we could not continue to do what we do.
