🎨 Jan Murphy – Multimedia Artist of Colour, Texture & Discovery
Sunshine Coast • Brisbane • Gold Coast • Across Queensland
Welcome to the expressive world of Jan Murphy, a Sunshine Coast-based artist whose work celebrates colour, curiosity, and creative experimentation. Since beginning her painting journey in 2014, Jan has embraced a wide range of media — from acrylic and oil to cold wax, collage, found objects, and hand-cut stencils. Her process is intuitive, layered, and often delightfully unpredictable.
“I love happy accidents. Scratches, scrapes, and textures are part of the story.”
Jan’s work is rich in surface and meaning, often blending traditional techniques with non-traditional materials. She’s constantly exploring new ways to bring life to the canvas — whether through mark-making, mixed media layering, or spontaneous abstraction.
