Morgan Brock is a Nashville-based mixed media artist originally from Atlanta, Georgia, whose work explores memory, material, and emotional atmosphere through an intuitive, process-driven practice. Using materials such as acrylic paint, oil pastel, graphite, collage, fabric, coffee grounds, and hand-worked surfaces, her compositions build depth through layering, erosion, gesture, and restraint — creating works that feel simultaneously familiar and abstracted.
Influenced by Southern landscapes, small-town Americana, Western iconography, and her Welsh and British heritage, Brock’s work often references places and emotions tied to the American dream: neighborhood pools, dance halls, roadside spaces, open fields, nature, horses, and fragments of domestic memory. Her recent body of work, Drych Morgan — named after the Welsh word for “mirror” — expands her practice into hand-treated mirror surfaces, exploring reflection, distortion, impermanence, and light through chemically altered and layered materials.
Across painting, collage, and sculptural surface experimentation, Brock approaches each piece as both artifact and atmosphere, interested less in direct representation and more in emotional residue and sensory memory. She holds a BFA in Textile Design from the Lamar Dodd School of Art at the University of Georgia and previously worked as a home goods designer in New York before spending eight years in corporate creative storytelling within executive communications, supporting CEO leadership for global organizations. The intersection of visual composition, narrative structure, and emotional messaging continues to shape her balance of structure and spontaneity within the studio. Her work has been collected privately and placed in residential spaces across the country, often in collaboration with interior designers, and featured in select retail and exhibition settings.
