A graduate of the University of
Massachusetts at Amherst, Tim Murley studied abroad at the University of Seville (Spain)
and the University of Barcelona, as well as at Chateau La Napoule (France).
His paintings have been
exhibited at various locations in Massachusetts, including Boston Logan Airport, Boston City Hall, Boston Children's Museum, Mass. General Hospital, Boston Children's Hospital,
the Judi Rotenberg
Gallery, the
Holliston Historical Society, Baak Gallery,
School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Tofias Gallery, Northampton Center for the Arts, Herter Art Gallery, Brookline
Town Hall and the Longwood Cricket Club.
His works have also been shown at various locations in San
Francisco, including the MOMA Artists Gallery, UCSF Medical Center, North Beach Gallery, Aperto, and Canvas.
His art has been featured in the San Francisco Chronicle,
the Boston Phoenix, Brookline Magazine and on the cover of "Young Audiences" catalog.
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.
