Marion Frederic “Fred” Murphy was born in Baltimore, Maryland in 1932. Although he attempted to enlist in the military to serve in the Korean War, he was rejected due to asthma, but was introduced to art by the soldier who was forced to inform him of the rejection, a battle sketch artist who had served in World War II. Through his advice and guidance, Murphy wound up studying at the Art Institute of Chicago, where he received a BFA in 1955. He returned to Baltimore for further studies at the Schuler School of Fine Art, where he worked in oils, watercolors, and charcoal, making still lifes, portraits, and nude sketches. For almost fifty years he continued to explore a variety of styles and mediums, and was recognized for his proficiency in capturing Old Master styles and techniques. His works hung in many galleries and were found in private collections up and down the East Coast. In 2002 he moved to Sarasota, Florida for health reasons. He never married, but continued to work up until his death in 2011 after a long battle with pneumonia and other respiratory issues.
