Our April artist of the month is Tim & Erin Murphy
Erin Murphy is a lifelong Hudson Valley resident and a self-taught artist who has been drawing and painting for as long as she can remember. Inspired by a deep love of nature and animals, her work reflects the connection she feels to the natural world and the creatures within it. By day, Erin works as an instructional designer at UnitedHealthcare, blending creativity and communication in a different form.
She lives in Kingston with her partner, Tim and their beloved rescue animals—Artemis the dog, Betty the cat, and Portia the horse. A passionate advocate for animal rescue, Erin is honored to support the SPCA through her art.
Local maker Tim Murphy owns and operates TFM Designs, a company in which he uses locally sourced wood to create objects of whimsy and practical rustic kitchen utensils. His company also turns backyard dreams into reality with patios, decks, gazebos, and so much more.
Tim’s workshop is located right here in Kingston, New York, where he hand-makes every item, including kitchen utensils using locally sourced cherry, maple, and oak.

The project is an effort to merge the animal community with the growing art community in the Hudson Valley and has been very successful since its inception. The UCSPCA works closely with local artists, allowing them to display their work in the shelter for one month. Each month the featured artist displays their work at the shelter and proceeds from the sale of their work comes back to the animals.
