Abstract Expressionists We Love: Meighan Morrison

on April 08, 2024

Meighan Morrison 
Bridgeport, CT, US 

A true creative, Meighan Morrison has studied art at various art institutions across the US and held a variety of creative careers, including a textile designer and children's book author and illustrator. She credits this diverse background with informing her gorgeous abstract expressionist paintings.

According to Meighan, the intersection of opposites, of binary elements, is the heart of her abstract expressionist paintings. This is evident in her work where, for example, dark bold brushstrokes stand in powerful contrast to a light minimalist background (above). Other times, it's the duality of large and small elements, like large shapes and smaller marks (below), that produce a "glimpse of a real life unearthliness," as she explains it.

Interestingly, Meighan is continuing in the rich artistic tradition of her ancestors. Her great grandmother, Clara Pfeifer Garrett, was an award winning sculptor, while her great-great grandfather's art is part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's permanent collection. That said, Meighan is clearly paving her own way in the field of contemporary abstract expressionism.
