HOPE MORGAN

Born and raised in Richmond, Hope Morgan is an abstract painter whose practice is driven by the beauty of contained forms, how they exist in the natural world, and how we respond to them. Her pieces tell a story of meditative problem-solving through color, shape, and line. Her process becomes centering as she meticulously encases each element, creating landscapes of form and texture. These non-traditional landscapes are often informed by her time spent in the mountains. Additionally, she is interested in conversations surrounding art as it relates to neurodiversity and opening our minds to unconventional ways of thinking.

Over the past decade, Hope has enjoyed showing and selling her work along the East Coast and beyond. Her work has been featured at Glavé Kocen, Artspace Gallery, and Crossroads Art Center. She is 2022 Studio Access Resident at the Visual Arts Center of Richmond and a contributor to Mending Walls’ latest project, “Transcending Walls,” located at Richmond Hill.
