Welcome

Morgan Prosser is a visual artist based in Kansas City, Missouri. She has been honing her technical skills as well as bringing ideas of home, mental health, and feminine identity to fruition through still life paintings since she graduated with a degree in Fine Art from Drury University in 2020. As a mentally ill woman, Morgan largely uses painting as an outlet to express emotions that she experiences in every day life, executing each still life in such a way that depicts inner feelings about how she views the world around her. Morgan’s current body of work largely reflects depictions of the mundane, transforming every day items into vessels of expression. Objects are conveyed loosely through drawing, but more significantly through color, shape and paint application. By pulling from her influences of early modern painters such as the German Expressionists, Morgan colorfully creates scenes that are a play on real life but exist in a world that sits somewhere between reality and her own emotional fantasy. ”Medication/Meditation” is a continuing exploration of painting pill bottles. Morgan sets up each arrangement by shining a large work-light on the pill bottles to create drastic shadow and bold highlights. This has resulted in an emotionally charged body of work that Morgan has kept coming back to since 2021.
