Artist: Bree Morrison 

Spending her childhood growing up in a remote town exploring riverbanks and observing the ebb and flow of the changing seasons, Bree Morrison’s works are influenced by ecosystems and the shifting changes in light, landscapes and the life within them.

Her process sees her spending a lot of time observing the world around her, then painting intuitively, quickly and with little prior planning. In this way she aims to capture the mood or feeling of the piece, using vivid and earthy colour palettes, visible brush strokes, mark making textures and abstraction.

Her subject matter is drawn from nature but is also a snippet of an introspective world, a link to Bree’s nostalgic feelings and emotions reminiscent of memories and connections. Bree wants her work to bring forth the juxtaposition of the outer and inner worlds, communicating both whimsical beauty and meaningful connections to both nature and the ones we love.
