Over that time, she’s created a diverse portfolio of paintings, drawings, and prints. She describes herself as a maximalist when it comes to art. “I like a busy piece of work that you could stare at for a long time,” she said. “And I love movement.”Morrison also loves the mountains of North Carolina. As a native of the state, she says she and her family travel to the high country often and were saddened by the devastation caused by Helene. “I did what I always do when something is hard, and I took some time in front of a blank canvas and just let it out that way,” Morrison said.
