A graduate of the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, Tim Murley studied abroad at the

In addition, his art has been exhibited in Seattle, Dallas, Portland (Maine),
Tokyo, Milan, and La Napoule (France).
His paintings are in numerous collections around the world.
My new work is created with acrylic paint, oil sticks, china markers and gloss glazes. The
paintings have a rougher, more textured surface.
My themes are inspired by travel, classes, books, music, architecture, relationships, a night
time walk, popular & foreign culture, people-watching, advertising, movies, beauty, even
missed opportunities.
I don't think it's important where the inspiration comes from; it just needs to exist. I want
to translate those adventures and desires into the work.
