Murphy, Hattie Saussy, Emma Wilkins, Sidney Beauman, Lila Cabaniss, and many other members of the Savannah Art Club often traveled out to the Gignilliat property near Montgomery to paint plein air. Views of "Woodboo", as it was called, are seen in many Savannah compositions. The eldest of the seven Murphy children, Christopher A. D. Murphy (1902–1973) left Savannah after high school to attend New York City’s Art Students League. Later, he studied privately with such artists as Eliot Candee Clark and William Chadwick. He was a prominent and influential member of the Savannah arts community for forty years.
