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

“Modern Art Master”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 June 2013

Visited the Paul Murray Gallery and had the wonderful experience to meet Paul along with his wife, and hear stories of his life and of some of his paintings. A very humble man with a God given talent to show a person's spirit through his works of art. A true master of his time! If you visit the Pigeon Forge/... More

“A beautiful place with great people and unbelieveable art”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 June 2013

My 15 year old daughter is an artist. While driving by she happened to notice a beautiful piece of art on the side of the house on Glades Road. So we stopped in and we were amazed by the quality of the art work. Amazed is probably an understatement... At some point while walking through the house, my wife and... More

“Breathtaking ......The genius of Paul Murray touches the heart and soul....”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 November 2012 via mobile

About 10 years ago, I was introduced to the "art" of Paul Murray. I was intrigued by a "photo" of an old man (Daniel) in the gallery of Paul Murray. My eyes were glued to this piece. Paul's wife noticed my admiration, and began to tell me about his work. After I mentioned that I was in love with this... More

We have been going to the GSM for a number of years. Last spring, we spent several days on the Artist's Loop. I first saw Paul's art and was mesmerized - Paul magically captures a simple way of life and the emotions of an era gone by. We returned this past week with the intent of buying some of Paul's...

A picutre in a brochure captured our attention so we visited the gallery to see more. Paul Murray's art is so beautiful and moving. He captures the very heart and soul of his subjects. We purchased two prints on our first visit and hope to add more soon!
