Mary Morrison lives and works in Denver, Colorado. She received her degree in Art from Colorado State University and has worked full-time painting, teaching and exhibiting art for the past 18 years.

Her work has a great sense of energy and movement. Most of her imagery is taken from natural elements and the spaces of the West. Her paintings incorporate lush, textural elements with complex, vibrant colorations. The pieces are mixed-media on panel, mostly acrylics with gouache and casein. She uses collage, dripped lines, transfers prints and hand-carved stamps in building the painting. These techniques, combined with her distinctive marks give the works a rich and unique surface.

Morrison’s paintings have been collected by the State of Colorado’s Art in Public Places Program as well as many private and corporate collections. Most recent acquisitions include The Medical Center of the Rockies, Loveland, CO, La Costa Resort, San Diego, CA, The Herman Memorial Wellness Center, Houston, TX, The Pinnacle Resort, Lake Charles, LA, The University of Colorado, Boulder, CO, The Anschutz Cancer Center, Denver, CO and The Boulder Country Club, Boulder, CO.
