Garret T Murphy
Other relevant experience or expertise:
I am a Napa business owner and entrepreneur with over 25 years of experience founding and operating businesses in the city’s downtown core, giving me practical familiarity with land use considerations, permitting processes, tenant improvements, and the relationship between zoning policy and economic vitality.
My civic involvement includes serving on the
Downtown Specific Plan Advisory Committee in 2012, where I gained a working understanding of planning policy, zoning ordinances, and development review considerations. I also served on the board of Napa County Landmarks, where I participated in discussions related to historic preservation and the protection of architecturally significant structures.
For the past four years, I have served on the Public Art Steering Committee (PASC), where I have reviewed and supported public art projects that contribute to Napa’s built environment and cultural identity. This work requires evaluating design intent, community impact, site context, and long-term civic value.
In addition to my civic work, I am
a practicing visual artist (painter, sculptor, and photographer), which informs my understanding of aesthetics, place-making, and how design contributes to a city’s character and sense of place. Together, these experiences allow me to thoughtfully evaluate projects not only from a business and community perspective, but also from the standpoint of design compatibility, historic context, and visual impact.
This combination of practical business
experience, planning exposure, preservation work, and design involvement provides a multidisciplinary perspective relevant to evaluating development proposals.
Additional Questions
What is your understanding of the role and responsibility of this board? A Planning Commission primarily serves as an advisory body to the City Council on land use and planning matters, particularly regarding amendments to the City’s General Plan and Zoning Ordinance. The Commission also plays an important role in holding public hearings, evaluating development proposals, and gathering community input before making recommendations that help shape the city’s long term growth and character.
Have you ever attended a meeting of this board?
If so, how many?
yes/ many over the years
What duties of this board are most interesting to you?
The work of the Planning Commission is critically important in helping guide Napa’s long term growth while preserving the character that makes the city special. I am particularly interested in how thoughtful planning can balance economic vitality, historic preservation, good design, and quality of life for residents.
Having been involved in the Downtown Specific
Plan process, historic preservation through Napa County Landmarks, and more recently civic design discussions through the Public Art Steering Committee, I have developed a strong appreciation for how planning decisions shape the future of our community. The opportunity to contribute to that process and help ensure Napa continues to evolve thoughtfully and responsibly is what interests me most.
What activities of this board are least interesting to you? All aspects of the Planning Commission’s work are important. While some technical or procedural matters may be less personally engaging than broader planning discussions, I understand they are necessary to ensure well informed decisions and I am fully committed to giving all matters the attention they deserve.
Garret T Murphy
What programs or projects would you like to see improved or implemented? I would like to see continued focus on thoughtful development that enhances Napa’s quality of life while preserving the character that makes our community unique. This includes encouraging well designed projects, supporting appropriate housing solutions, protecting historic resources, and ensuring new development contributes positively to the visual and cultural fabric of the city. I am also interested in planning approaches that promote long term sustainability, walkability, and economic vitality, particularly in our downtown and neighborhood corridors. Good planning decisions today will help ensure Napa remains both livable and vibrant for future generations.
How would you approach improving these project(s) or program(s)? I would approach these issues by carefully evaluating each project on its merits, ensuring decisions are thoughtful, fair, and impartial, and consistent with the City’s General Plan and zoning regulations. I believe it is important to listen carefully to staff recommendations, applicant presentations, and public input before forming conclusions.
I would also focus on
balancing the needs of residents, businesses, and long term community goals, while ensuring projects contribute positively to Napa’s character, economic vitality, and quality of life. My approach would always be guided by transparency, good judgment, and respect for the planning process.
Are you involved in any organizations or activities that may result in a conflict of interest if you are appointed to this board? None

Artist Bio:
I am an American that grew up in Paris, surrounded with beauty and grit, everything you see in France is an artistic expression! After a quarter century of traveling and working around Europe and the US, I finally settled in Napa Valley where the landscape, the people and the food reminds me of France. Perfect place to be inspired!
I am a self-taught painter; I love most mediums but prefer oil paint. I am a landscape and portrait artist, my paint strokes are loose mostly alla prima, impressionistic, with a touch of abstraction and a feel of realism.
Artist Statement:
My Thirst for learning is insatiable, as a fledging artist I get inspired by nature, people and the science of perception, how much and how little needs to be rendered for the viewer eyes to be satisfied? How far can I bend reality and how much spatial deconstruction can be had, and still have the viewer interpret the painting to be impressionistic with even some touch of realism. John Singer Sargent and many of his contemporaries mastered that magical touch! Sometimes I whistle, sing or joke not always because I am happy, but to brighten my day and others! Same is true with my art, sometimes I just paint, the more spontaneous the better.
I am drawn to movement and playfulness; Each brushstrokes suggesting to my audience a magical and a wondrous journey!

Other relevant experience or expertise:
HOSPITALITY EXPERTISE - In addition to my 20 years of experience in international visual arts and events management, alongside my arts background, I have extensive career experience in the restaurant/hospitality industry.
I have a distinct understanding of the ongoing
economic parameters facing Napa Valley and its local population with regard to restaurants/hospitality.
Most significant to my hospitality experience, I managed a $2M a year events program for a 300 seat steakhouse in Miami Florida.
I know almost every aspect
of running a restaurant from the front-of-the-house perspective.
This work experience has
taught me to think on my feet, be resourceful, learn how to communicate effectively with clients/guests in almost every imaginable circumstance, and truly understand the challenges the hospitality industry faces on a daily basis.
There has never been a more important time
for communities, and all its components within, to work together for its success and well- being.
Most importantly, I believe art, particularly public art, can help communities evolve, transcend, heal and grow on every level.
I also believe art, in many forms, can have a
positive and direct impact on the economic success of a community.
INTERNATIONAL ARTS -
My primary work experience in the arts began during the 3 years I lived in Singapore.
During
this time, through my work with local Asian art companies, I studied Chinese antiquities as well as contemporary Asian fine art.
I had the unique experience of marketing, developing
and managing a gallery concept which was ultimately opened in the world famous Raffles Hotel in Singapore.
I returned to the US to open my own Asian art gallery in the renowned River North Gallery District in Chicago.
I spent close to a decade traveling Southeast Asia
seeking out and representing overseas artists, and supporting their works and cultures in my gallery. My experience includes arts marketing, overseas logistical management, events marketing and management, building customer relationships, website development and social media marketing.
For more information regarding my desire to be more active in my community thru art,
please listen here to my interview with Ira Smith at KVON which includes my guest, CARE Foundation founder Steve Meng.
