About

Morrigan Atherton is an oil painter who has been pursuing her career in the arts for nearly ten years. Her interests began when she found peace and vulnerability through creative expression during her formative years. This is reflected in her current pieces, where she creates work that highlights the beauty and futility of life and surrealist explorations of art used as a form of self-therapy. She communicates important themes throughout her work, such as psychological trauma, materialism and mortality, emphasising the significance of gratitude and living a meaningful life. She has had numerous independent and collaborative art exhibitions and won prestigious competitions, which have led to her work being permanently displayed in museums and company headquarters. Additionally, she had the opportunity to speak at Buckingham Palace about her work when she was 14. She plans to pursue a career in art alongside digital marketing and has an interest in art psychotherapy. She is actively showcasing her work and processes on social media, where she is gaining growing recognition for her practice and relating to other fellow creatives.
