Garth was well known for his stylish first-century style trompe l'oeil decoration of the magnificent Getty Villa in Malibu, California.

Fine art connoisseurs insist that Garth Benton created the kind of exquisite art that "should be admired and treasured." Insiders say Benton's "never-ending" skills were made manifest by the diversity of his commissions, which were inspired by everything from first-century Roman frescoes to eighteenth-century Chinese wallpaper to Art Deco and Modern designs.

Benton, who has been described as one of the top five muralists in the world, truly executed museum-quality pieces. He worked on such notable projects as the 1,000-foot mural in the J. Paul Getty Museum in Malibu, and has been published in fine art books. Benton studied art at UCLA and Art Center College of Design after being inspired by the work of his cousin, the late Thomas Hart Benton, a teacher of Jackson Pollock and a well-known artist in his own right. Benton died in 2012 after a battle with cancer. A few of his clientele:

"Your work is truly fine, and you go above and beyond the call of duty. So when you present your final bill to me, make it for whatever you like…within reason, of course."
