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. « less

We read some of the reviews on Trip Advisor so we decided to stop in during our recent visit. We were mesmerized by Paul's works. The stories about the people brought the paintings to life. We talked about it for days. More

Our visit to the Paul Murray Gallery was much more than just a "stop along the way", It was memorable. Not only did we get to see many of Pauls' amazing artworks and talk to him in person, but we had the honor of meeting Red & Wilma, a couple who have lived all theirs lives in the Tennessee Mountains....

We have visited Gatlinberg and the Arts district for years, but this year was especially wonderful. What we thought would be a short visit to the gallery, resulted in almost 3 hours of entertainment. Paul & Kathy Murray introduced us to Red & Wilma, who are the subjects of many of Paul's drawings, which you will see when you visit.... More

Four years ago we stumbled into the art loop of Gatlinburg, Tennessee. We found our gem!! The art of Paul Murray, the warmth of Kati Jane and Jo, and our passion of Appalachia and its people. We have returned many times and each time have found another of Paul's treasures to take with us to grace our home. If you... More

We visited gallery for first time during our recent family vacation. The gallery setting is perfect for his works and we sooooo enjoyed speaking with his wife. We learned much about the subjects for his art. We are excited to visit again soon and add a second piece to our new collection! More

We were heading back from Florida, (driving back to Canada), and made a point of visiting the Gallery. What an awesome experience. Paul's art is astounding and it touches your soul.

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
