Claudia Morgan works in drawing and painting media. Drawing, and the love of it, is the foundation of her work. What she really wants to do, both in drawing and in painting, is to be able to render the fullness of an image with a minimum of lines or brushstrokes, and to love the interplay between two and three dimensions in perception and paper or canvas. 

Implicit in Claudia’s work is the joy that flows from seeing/drawing as an act of mindfulness. She is engaged by those subjects one can see only by being wholly observant—the elegant curve of the stem end of a peach, a well-worn building that holds decades of human stories, a contemplative gaze, an almost-hidden alley just noticed in passing.

Claudia has taught drawing at the Pacific Art League in Palo Alto, California. She lives in Nashville, Tennessee, and Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts. She previously exhibited at the Portola Art Gallery in Menlo Park, California. Her work can also be seen at claudiamorganart.com.
