Biography

Shaun Murphy lived in Melbourne, Australia, before moving to Sydney, New South Wales, where he spent his youth. With a background in photographic darkroom processes he developed conceptual ideas which launched his artistic career. As well as his black and white film work, Shaun has produced logo designs and has taught drawing, painting and watercolour.

Since 1993 he has lived on the Far North Coast of NSW where he has attended life drawing sessions for many years where he finely tuned his ability to reproduce the human portrait. In 2000 Shaun completed Fine Arts and his recent works explore the dynamics between individuals, both alone and within group situatiosn and group mentalities.
