Self taught artist Paul Murray has dedicated his life to preserving the last flicker of the past. In these faces you see and feel their hard lived lives, the peacefullness of isolation from progress and a soul like no other can capture. Paul Murray talents are truly heartwarming, the staff and storytellers are full of smiles, stories and great hospitality. Come for an experience that will touch you forever.

“Incredible talent, great experience”

Reviewed December 9, 2011

It was a fantastic way to spend part of an afternoon. Paul's talent is evident in his work. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour of the gallery and the friendliness we encountered. It is a step back in time, and the artwork captures the essence of the area. Can't wait to return again in 2012. More

“Beautiful Paintings”

Reviewed October 10, 2011

Paul Murray draws/paints the children and people of the Appalachians. His work is truly outstanding... The emotion, detail and understanding of his subjects are clearly visible in all of his works. Over the years we have purchased several of his works and are always struck by the story each tells. If you are at all interested in art you must... More

“Paul Murray Studio & Gallery”

Reviewed October 2, 2011

Make sure you stop at this artist's gallery, located in Gatlinburg's Arts and Crafts community # 90, on Glades Road. His artwork captures the life of the faces of the Appalachia mountain folk. His attention to detail is so amazing, you think these could be old photos. We first admired a small portrait of "Aunt Emily "exhibited at the Gatlinburg... More
