Kate Morgan Art
Kate Morgan, contemporary female figurative artist working in mixed media. Painting over original drawings and collage elements. Layered artwork depicts figural explorations, portraits and animals in expressionist color palettes and surreal style. Inspired by Iconography, folklore and fashion. You can find me in person traveling nationwide showing my original artwork at galleries and art fairs.
Please explore my work with the understanding that the subject is either cut or torn paper with watercolor washes for detailing and shading. The gold is gold leaf, usually 23 kt. I use original paper from the past that no longer has value in society. Old maps are obsolete when new roads are built or countries change borders. This is a wonderful opportunity to view artwork as pieces that make a whole. Art should keep us engaged at every level. You will see very different things at ten feet versus one foot away. In that way it also mimics society. Please enjoy looking and look in my shop for things that might not be in my gallery, or visit my blog to see some behind the scenes of works in progress.
