New Series Announcement

On Saturday, June 14th, I’ll be dropping a new collection of paintings, with a special Opening Reception at the Gallery/Studio from 5-8pm to showcase the collection in person.

This series dives deeper into the imagery of the sea and my surrounding landscape here in Rockport. Expect to see elements like seaweed movement, rocks, and shifting perspectives. I’ve also ventured into using oil paint for the first time, bringing a rich depth to the work.

The collection blends pieces created outdoors with those developed entirely inside. It’s about mark-making, brushstrokes, and meditative movements—pushing the paint around in ways that allow it to speak to me. It’s an intuitive process, where I work with the energy of the day, guiding it with my subconscious to create something new and unexpected.

I’d love for you to join me at the opening to experience the work firsthand!

150 CAMBRIDGE PARK DRIVE MURAL

“MISSI-TUK” 2024

Title: "Missi-Tuk: Urban Estuary" FEB, 2024

Dimensions: 23' x 14'

Medium: Enamel paint & Spray paint

Description:

Nestled near Alewife station in Boston, "Missi-Tuk: Urban Estuary” draws inspiration from its namesake—a "large estuary," mirroring the tidal rhythm of the Mystic River. The mural captures the dance between the cityscape and nature, where bold strokes of blue mimic the water’s pulse against soft, textured backdrops.

Through vibrant blues and subtle oranges the artwork reflects Boston's unique identity—a metropolis intertwined with wildlife reserves and bodies of water that wind through its fabric. This visual ode celebrates the delicate balance between development and environmental preservation, inviting viewers to contemplate their own connection to the vibrant ecosystems that thrive within and beyond the city limits.

THANK YOU/ CYBER MONDAY

Dear Supporters,

Over the past weekend, Morgan Dyer Fine Art celebrated Small Business Saturday by offering 20 % off all prints in the Gallery & Shop. This sale will join the internet for Cyber Monday using code THANKS at checkout.

From my Instagram Post today…..

If these words fall short in expressing my gratitude, I hope that beyond these lines, you feel it in every pursuit, in every ounce of my dedication— the work put into this little Gallery on Bearskin Neck. If you have visited the Gallery & Shop or caught a glimpse into the back studio, my hope is that you left with a sense — a touch of inspiration, or any emotion at all— because of the tremendous support you lend to everything I pursue. 

Thank you deeply for graciously making space on your walls for pieces from the Gallery. Your conversations, encouragement, both small and large purchases, spreading the word, liking my posts, engaging in collaborations, and, of course, sharing a mutual desire for the language I hold dear – it remains truly mind-bending.

An extended thank you is owed to my incredibly talented makers and friends who place their trust in me to represent their work or collaborate in the shop whenever possible. Thank you for joining me in learning and working together to navigate the intricacies of running a storefront.

Napkins

Since I launched the Gallery & Shop back in December 2021, I've put in quite a bit of time sourcing the right materials for these unique hand-painted napkins that suit the changing vibes of Bearskin Neck's seasons. Each napkin is carefully painted with color-safe fabric paint/dye, applied with a brush to create watercolor effects, shapes and transparencies inspired by my original paintings.

I enjoy crafting custom sets, and you can grab them either here on my website or swing by the shop. The story behind these napkins is dedicated to my late Grandmother. She was the maestro of setting up tables for our Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings, and she passed on all her wisdom to me. This entire project is essentially my tribute to her magical table-setting expertise. 🎨✨

California Pop-up

I recently had the opportunity to participate in a December art pop-up on Melrose Ave in Los Angeles, CA as a vendor for Junction Marketplace. This was a thrilling experience for me, as I flew all the way from Gloucester, MA to showcase!. My booth was filled with originals and prints that received so much love from visitors. To make the experience even more special, I was honored to set up my display next to my long-time friend and talented artist, Erin Wolf. Together, we displayed our first collaboration project, which was a highlight of the show. PLEASE CHECK out the stunning photographs of the art pieces that Erin and I created, as well as a glimpse of my personal display.

Acrylic paint on wood by Morgan with embellished acrylic shapes added by Erin.

a heartfelt thank you to everyone who came out to the event. Your support and encouragement mean the world to me, and I am grateful for the opportunity to share my passion with you.
