Since becoming paraplegic in 2009, I turned to art as a release. I attended Sunderland 2012 and then went straight on to my MA in illustration and design. My MA looked at the benefits of art therapy for people living with disability or mental illness. I graduated in 2017, and I set up Regeneration NE with the aim of teaching art in the community to those living with disability or mental illness.

Travel Inspired Art
I am casting a wide net, or should I say broad strokes, using the term “travel inspired art.” These are pieces which are inspired by trips abroad; as well as, journeys within. Each piece of art celebrates the miraculous beauty of nature; the amazing world around us; and the journey of self-discovery along the way.

Murray Siple
“I want people to understand by looking deeper into my paintings, that they were created not only by a person with a disability but a person with a disability living as an outsider. I push my limits physically to find environments that inspire my image making. The is my secret to flipping the expectations imposed on a person with a disability and living a life possibly more enriched than able bodied people.”

After I was in a ski accident leaving me paralyzed from the neck down, I started to learn to paint with my mouth. It became a great way for me to express myself and get more involved with the arts. Now it has become a way for me to earn some extra money while still enjoying myself. I'm glad to have found this hobby.
