Ink & Acrylic on Linen
48h x 80w in.
Meighan Morrison’s paintings focus on composition, arranging simplified forms and bold shapes within a restrained palette. Guided by contrast—light and dark, rough and smooth, bold and delicate—her work develops through an intuitive process that allows the image to evolve as the painting progresses.
Morrison often works on the floor on unstretched linen or paper, giving the process a physical immediacy and allowing gesture and accident to play an active role. As she explains, “The unplanned is more interesting to me than the planned. I try to respect the accidental and recognize the moment when the work begins to inform itself.”
Morrison studied fine art at Boston University before transferring to Parsons School of Design in New York and later continuing coursework at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco. She has worked across a range of creative fields including illustration, textile design, graphic design, and interior design.
Her work is held in private collections in the United States and Europe and has been acquired for projects including the New Stamford Hospital in Connecticut and the Art Deco landmark 100 Barclay in Tribeca, New York.
