Murray Siple. Multidisciplinary Artist, Documentary Filmmaker, Adaptive Surfer, Tetraplegic.

I make art at the intersection of the ocean and the studio. Growing up chasing boards and studying at Emily Carr University, I have always been drawn to movement, energy, and the challenge of capturing it visually. Living with a disability has changed how I experience the world. Still, it hasn’t stopped me from creating work that reflects resilience, adaptation, and the environment around us.

My art explores the delicate balance between beauty and struggle, drawing from my passion for the ocean and those who cherish it, as well as the profound impact humans have on our natural world. I use painting, sculpture, and murals to show both the risks and rewards of engaging with life directly, inviting viewers to see the world—and the ocean—differently.
