We hear from artist and animal activist Jan Murphy…
Friday Harbor Artist Jan Murphy uses her art to help exploited Asiatic Bears. Jan is an artist at the Friday Harbor Atelier, 313 Spring Street.
“Hi, my name is Jan Murphy, and at 59 years old, I can finally say that I no longer feel timid about calling myself an artist. I started making art about 20 years ago as a form of therapy. Having been involved in animal rights and animal rescue from a very young age, I knew that the creative process would help me deal with the stress and sadness I encountered every day as a witness and advocate for those who have no voice.”
