After 6+ years studying at The School of American Ballet in New York City, Morgan moved back to her adopted home of Raleigh, North Carolina, to reestablish herself outside of the dance world. Struggling to find a creative outlet, she began painting and discovered something that truly fit. She is largely inspired by music, after all, choreographing a ballet would be pointless without the music. Her dance training instilled the practice of listening to a piece of music and seeing choreography, and movement, similar to synesthesia. Synesthesia is when you hear music but see shapes or colors, experiencing one of your senses through another. With each brushstroke, Morgan aims to capture the energy and rhythm of the music that inspires her, keeping a very fluid and experimental approach to everything she creates.  Using a variety of materials and techniques, Morgan creates pieces that are both visually and emotionally engaging. The art is a reflection of the emotions and feelings that music evokes in her. She hopes to invite viewers to feel, rather than simply envision. As an introvert, Morgan has always been drawn to the arts as a way of communicating without having to use words. Through her art, Morgan seeks to convey the beauty and complexity of the human experience. Morgan’s work is a testament to the power of art to communicate and connect with people in a profound way.  

Morgan currently resides in a small apartment in downtown Raleigh. She is the resident artist at both Brew Coffee Bar locations and the Optimist Coffee Shop.
