Derville Murphy
Art, history, and books are my passion and now I am lucky enough to be able to combine all three. For many years I worked as an art consultant. During this time, I also painted and exhibited my own work. But about fifteen years ago, I decided to go back to college to get a deeper knowledge of art and history. While I was there, I got hooked on the detective work that is involved in historical research. However, I found that days spent pouring over ancient volumes in dusty libraries don’t always yield the results to tell a compelling story. And I started thinking about, painting, and telling stories, as a way for me to get a clearer understanding of the past.
