Tom Murphy is a native of Eau Claire, WI and a 1949 graduate of the UW-Madison School of Journalism. During his forty-four year career as a writer and editor, he continued to treat art studies as his second vocation, having joked that there was a “painter inside him, wanting to get out.” He took courses in the University’s art department and through its extension program. During the 1960’s, while writing for television at WGN in Chicago, he studied painting and life drawing with a group of senior faculty from the Art Institute of Chicago. Back in Madison, he enrolled in evening and Saturday classes in the UW’s and Extension’s art departments.
