Artist Showcase: Painter + Pyrographer Hailey Morgan

Alaska Yeti. —Hailey Morgan — Alaska Yeti 2019. I want to be friends with this monster. This is a watercolor and ink piece. I like to create monsters that exude openness and kindness. I imagine that this guy lives somewhere in a mountain range in Alaska. —Hailey Morgan

Mama Moose. —Hailey Morgan — Mama Moose 2015. This sweet moose and calf is one of my best-selling pieces of art. I took the idea of the horned giraffe creature from the Sewing Lady piece and stylized it as a Moose-esque animal. I wanted to capture a tender yet playful moment between the Mama and the calf. —Hailey Morgan

Beluga. —Hailey Morgan — Belugas. Alaska is a wildly inspiring place to live. After an incredible camping trip in Turnagain Arm (right outside of Anchorage) with a full moon and beluga pods fishing just off of the shore, I knew that I wanted to do a piece of art based of these incredible creatures. I like to add elements of magic here and there in my art which is why one of the Beluga whales is spouting a bouquet of flowers. —Hailey Morgan

Sewing Lady. —Hailey Morgan — Sewing Lady 2013. This piece is the visual representation of my creative process. The sewing lady is taking fabric as she quilts and it shifts into a myriad of new creatures. Some of the creatures charge ahead and others float along. This piece has inspired several other pieces of art that I have made. —Hailey Morgan

Artic Fox. —Hailey Morgan — Arctic Fox. —Hailey Morgan
