Morgan grew up on Nantucket and has been evolving as an artist ever since childhood. A tireless obsession with animals, especially wildlife, has been the fuel for her creative endeavors. She is an animal artist with a primary focus on birds, making works in gouache and watercolor that attempt to emphasize the character and beauty of animals. An interest in natural history inspires her to pursue accuracy in her subjects and she enjoys rendering realism with her own personal style. She is also a member of the Society of Animal Artists, one of the world’s oldest and most prestigious animal art organizations.
Morgan draws inspiration from the animal experiences she has had throughout her life, including work as a coastal ecologist protecting rare and endangered bird species and as an elephant keeper caring for retired circus elephants. She has no formal art education and is entirely self-taught. Morgan’s process begins with careful observation in the field which is carried back to the studio and meticulously translated from memory and photos onto watercolor, gouache, and oil works on paper and canvas.
