Working in Nature

Kristen Murray is a landscape and flora artist living and working in Victoria’s Central Highlands. Her work explores the area’s diverse natural environments, both rural and urban. She also has an interest in the Wimmera and Western Victorian regions. She takes inspiration from working in the outdoors and has a home-based studio.

Kristen works across a range of media: graphite, charcoal, pastel, pen and ink, watercolour, oil and acrylic. Her subjects range from the smallest of floral specimens to vistas from mountain and hill tops. They include native eucalypts and acacias in local bushland, and introduced species such as European oaks, pines, and elms lining the streets of Ballarat where she lives.
