Picture That  
 

Myrna Morris

My philosophy as an artist is that “the art of painting is a journey of involvement through many ways in the quest of a unique identity.” Because of my interest in people and the human figure, I try to capture movement and vitality in a simplistic form. I have always been fascinated in how the body communicates messages and often use dancers as my theme.

I hold a B.A degree from Saint Peter’s College and an M.A. from William Paterson University. I have studied at the Art Students League, New York, the Barnes Foundation, and the Arts Center of Northern New Jersey.

I enjoy working in various media, including oil, acrylic, charcoal, and pastels. Exhibitions of my work have been held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, The Bergen Museum of Art and Science, Harvard University, Fairleigh Dickinson University, Wheaton College, The Cellar Gallery, Design Masters Group Gallery, Take Two Gallery, Cousen Rose Gallery, Martha’s Vineyard, libraries, and businesses such as Lever House and American Express. My works are in numerous private collections throughout the country and overseas.
