Born in Titusville, Florida in 1975, Anthony Murrill is a self-taught painter whose vibrant, impasto acrylics capture both the energy of nature and the joy of everyday life. After leaving art school and spending years running a successful construction business, Anthony returned to his first passion, painting, and has since built a thriving fine art career.

Working primarily with heavy body acrylics and palette knives, Anthony creates bold, textured canvases that celebrate color, movement, and character. His subjects range from whimsical animals and florals to coastal and mountain landscapes, each piece infused with his signature combination of complementary underpainting, sculpted layers, and playful splatters.

Today, Anthony exhibits at juried art festivals across the country and has collectors nationwide who connect with the joy and vitality in his work. His story of resilience, trading tool belts for paint knives, resonates with audiences as much as his art itself.

Anthony lives and works in Ohio with his wife Kim, and spends the winter months in Florida - continuing to honor his Florida roots through coastal-inspired collections and frequent exhibitions in the state he first called home.
