ARTIST STATEMENT

I evolved over many years from early portrait and figure work to being very focused on composition - arranging simple, bold shapes void of subject and context within a limited palette. I initially rejected the "entities" inhabiting my current work because I didn't want to return to anything representational. It felt like going backwards.

 

But they kept wanting to come through so eventually I just let them. They have been referred to as souls, creatures, beings and aliens. I like how they seem to commune with each other and with us.

I paint as both a panacea for the exponential convolution that is today's world and as a rebellion against it. 

​

I studied at Boston University before attending Parsons School of Design as an illustration major. After careers in textile design, interior design and children's books (meighanmorrison.com) I returned to painting, continuing studies at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco.  

​

I am happy to be continuing the artistic tradition of my great, great grandfather Edmund Garrett, illustrator, painter, and mentor of American Impressionist painter Childe Hassam. Edmund Garrett's work is in the permanent collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and many other renowned institutions.

​

Meighan Morrison's paintings are part of private collections around the world including notable political figures and distinguished members of the entertainment, sports and fashion industries.
