“Nature has always been a source of fascination for me due to its uniqueness, power, and beauty. The figures and landscapes I create express the connection I have with the Earth and energy I feel when I am exploring the world around me. The organic lines of the female form and the parallels with the lines in nature inspire me; many of my paintings depict tranquil moments of solitude or harmony in nature that aid in overcoming obstacles, insecurities, and everyday struggles we incur as humans”

Morgan is a mixed-media painter based in North Charleston, SC. She is also the creator of the Park Circle Art Walk, an event developed in response to markets and galleries shutting down during the beginning of the Pandemic.

Morgan’s work has been featured in publications such as Charleston Magazine and Charleston Style and Design, and she was the 2022 featured artist for Art on the Beach on Sullivans Island. In 2023, her painting, Down from the Sun and into the Sea, was selected for the International 12th Annual All Women Art Exhibition through the Light, Space, and Time online gallery, as well as, The Woman in the Red Coat, for the Spoleto Juried Exhibition at the Charleston City Gallery.

Morgan was born in Connecticut and raised in North Carolina. She attended Clemson University and graduated with a BS in Graphic Communications with a minor in Advertising in 2006.  In 2018 and 2019, she completed an online program through the Visual Arts Passage for Illustration and attended the Illustration Academy in Kansas City, MO.

Her latest work includes watercolor, oil, and mixed-media paintings. She enjoys experimenting with new mediums and continues to explore figures and landscapes in addition to more conceptual ideas involving the human form and nature.
