Lee Morrison Art
ART STATEMENT
My work is rooted in vibrant, abstract paintings that invite reflection and inspire forward momentum. In my art, trees serve as symbols of quiet strength and resilience, their bare forms standing in contrast against colorful, abstract backgrounds. This interplay represents the passage of time, vulnerability, and the enduring spirit of nature.
Through my Forest Series, I aim to capture the essence of nature’s cradle and its challenges. Each tree embodies a moment frozen in time—a testament to the resilience required to endure life's seasons. The fragmented, colorful backgrounds juxtapose the starkness of the trees, creating a visual dialogue between vitality and stillness, between movement and silence.
My paintings are not only about what is seen but also what is felt—a convergence of past and present, strength and fragility. I hope that when you engage with my work, you’re moved by the quiet yet powerful narratives woven into the colors and forms, and that this experience inspires you in your own journey.
BIOGRAPHY
Lee Morrison has a primal need to paint. As a visual artist, Lee’s work centers around colorful, abstract paintings that invite reflection and inspire forward momentum. In her art, trees stand as symbols of quiet strength and resilience—their bare forms contrasting against vibrant, abstract backgrounds. This interplay signifies the passage of time, vulnerability, and the enduring spirit of nature.
Lee lives and maintains her art studio in Sherwood, Oregon. Her work has been featured in dozens of exhibitions and juried shows all over America from coast to coast—including Palm Beach, Florida, Palm Springs, California, Seattle, Portland, and numerous communities near those cities.
Through her Forest Series of abstract paintings, her aim is to capture the essence of nature's cradle and its challenges. Each tree in her artwork represents a moment frozen in time, a testament to the resilience required to weather life's seasons. The colorful, fragmented backgrounds contrast with the starkness of the trees, creating a visual dialogue between vitality and stillness, between movement and silence.
Lee’s paintings are not just about what is seen, but also what is felt—a convergence of past and present, of strength and fragility. When people engage with her work, they often find themselves moved by the quiet, yet powerful narratives embedded within the myriad colors and forms she includes.
REGARDING MY FRACTAL FOREST COLLECTION
My work merges geometric forms with abstract and figurative painting styles, creating a distinctive visual language. In the Fractal Forest Collection, I use layered, fragmented effects to produce a glass-like, fractal quality. This technique reflects the idea that we all see life through different lenses, each shaped by our unique experiences.
At the heart of my paintings is an homage to trees and nature, which cradle and challenge us both individually and collectively. When you view one of my pieces, I want you to experience the moment when different perspectives collide and coalesce—symbolizing how we each perceive the world through our own tinted lenses.
Through this collection, I hope to evoke a sense of unity and convergence, where diverse viewpoints come together in a harmonious visual narrative. The Fractal Forest Collection is not just a series of paintings; it's an exploration of how we interpret and interact with the world around us.
