Meighan Morrison was born in Chicago in 1966 and studied fine art at Boston University before transferring to Parsons School of Design in NYC, now The New School. She currently lives and maintains a studio in Bridgeport, CT.

She spent the last decade devolving from representational art into a simple abstract language. She works on the floor (which adds a physicality to her process) on oversized rolls of linen or paper. While dominant forms and basic composition are generally pre- determined she is relaxed with the brush, inviting the accident and then rerouting course to accommodate it.

Her interest in opposites, how they meet and determine each other – black/white, large/small, past/future – remains a constant in her work. The large scale of her stretched paintings amplify the relief found in simplification. The basic nature of the materials and a limited palette speak to the essential.

She hopes that her work might serve as a temporary panacea for the exponential convolution that is our modern lives and perhaps also as a small rebellion against it.
