Welcome to my artwork collection and joining me as I seek to capture people from all walks of life in a beautiful lighting, shadow and movement. Catching likeness, character, meaning and emotion.

My name is Donna Murphy. Im a portrait and figurative artist. I worked as an artist for many years taking a short break back in 2024 to raise my first born. I have now picked my pencil (charcoal stick) and creating my best work yet. I returned with a whole new look on life, a changed perspective, new meaning and a full heart.

My work has always heavily focused on nude figures which reflects my passion for life drawing. But, as I return I find myself wanting to draw more portraits. Families. Capturing precious moments from entire families to infants and motherhood.
