Morgan
Biography
Carolyn Morgan is a Brisbane-based landscape painter who juxtaposes the beauty of nature against the classical beauty of music in her work.
With the use of etherial and luminous landscapes, Carolyn Morgan captures a magical rhythm and wonder that brings forth a sensation of visual pleasure and wonder. Inspired by the musical works of great composers, Carolyn creates works that explore the depths and nuances between the music and the environment. Through her landscapes and cloudscapes, she brings out the physical harmony and beauty of both.
"In my artistic exploration, I translate the intricate language of classical music into vibrant visual landscapes. Inspired by emotional nuances and melodies, my work blurs the lines between sound and color, inviting viewers to experience a dynamic interplay between the two. Through deliberate brushwork and a diverse palette, each painting becomes a harmonious blend, capturing movement and emotion inspired by the timeless compositions that fuel my creativity. My paintings serve as an invitation to share in the transformative power of art, where sound and colour converge, creating a symphony for the eyes and a visual crescendo for the soul".
