TIM MURPHY

Throughout  Tim’s 25 years of decorative painting he has been determined to keep  learning, evolving, and experimenting with his artistry. After starting  out as a high-end residential painter, he kept challenging himself by  working with new materials and techniques, learning from many different  great artists of the industry. This was the creative outlet that he  always craved. Taking a class near Rome where he painted murals that  incorporated trompe l’oeil and faux finishes became the turning point  for him both creatively and spiritually, and he has been constantly  honing his skills since.


In  addition to traditional limestone plaster and lime paint finishes, Tim  specializes in murals and decorative painting, from faux bois marquetry  and fine patinas to custom stenciling and faux distressed cabinetry. He  finds inspiration by collaborating with other artists, as well as being  drawn to the infinite colors of nature and exploring classic  architecture in New York City, from the finishes on stone sculptures in  Central Park to the ornately carved oak  doors that can be found along the streets. Tim’s decorative painting  work has been showcased across a variety of media, and his expertise has  been sought out for a multitude of projects, such as the renovation of  Drumthwacket, the governor’s mansion of New Jersey, and a Vermont  B&B featured on the TV show, Hotel: Impossible.  He brings his extensive knowledge of painting techniques and eye for  color to enhance walls, ceilings, floors, moldings, and furniture,  creating beauty wherever he goes.
