Hello friends, I’m Morgan!
I live and work on Massachusetts’ North Shore. My studio is in Rockport at 65 Bearskin Neck, a magical and historic seaside village. The front gallery doubles as a shop filled with originals, prints, handmade goods+ art supplies. My studio is down the breezeway in the back and faces the water. Come visit, gather, and share connection~
My process is built on layering — pouring pools of paint onto the canvas again and again until large ribbons of color and texture start to emerge and intertwine. I'm drawn to how pigment moves when you let it: it puddles, it shifts like a tide, it settles into forms that feel geological. The paintings become these dense, energetic fields where you can trace the history of every pour.
The outdoor works use the same pouring technique, but I take it off the stretcher bars and into the landscape. I drag un-stretched canvas across different terrains — dirt, rock, whatever's there — and the ground leaves its own marks. Those get brought back to the studio and reworked. Sometimes I stretch them, sometimes I cut into them, sometimes I leave them as raw as possible.
The prints are cropped from larger pieces that are still in progress. They might capture a moment mid-pour while the paint is still wet, or a section where the canvas was folded around a rock. Pulled out of context, they become something harder to place.
The gallery between Memorial Day-the Holidays, the space is an open door. People wander in off Bearskin Neck and end up staying for a studio tour, a conversation about process, or just a free cup of coffee. I wanted to build a space where art feels approachable, where you can watch work being made and talk to the person making it. Whether you're a collector, another artist, or just curious — come in. Something about the space makes people slow down and open up. They tend to stay longer than they planned, and they usually leave feeling something they didn't expect.
