Renee' MacMurray was raised in Hingham Massachusetts. Growing up she was always involved in drawing and painting activities, influenced by her mother who is also an artist. While attending the Hingham Public Schools and after taking extra curricular classes at Massachusetts College of Art, in her senior year she decided to go to college to become a professional "Artist". Renee' graduated from the Art Institute of Boston receiving a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree, with a major in Illustration/Commercial Art and a minor in Fine Art and Children's Book Illustration.
While studying at AIB, she worked in an Art Gallery as the Gallery Manager, as well as developing their Advertising Department. Shortly after graduating from college in 1994 she decided to open her own Gallery/Decorative Painting Business, which is how "All Things Painted " was created, has currently been changed to "MACMURRAY DESIGNS". In her retail gallery she began by selling her artwork and transforming old furniture into beautiful new works of art. Eventually she was custom painting furniture for her clients and within the first year Renee' was asked to paint her first Mural. Ever since she has been primarily focused on her mural work and painting custom and original artwork for her clients.
Over the past 16 years Renee' has received a tremendous amount of recognition in her community through her Original Artwork, House Portraits and Murals. Which can be seen in commercial and residential homes through out New England and has been featured in many magazines such as South Shore Living, Cape Cod Home & Islands and the Patriot Ledger.
