Gwen Morrison is a Canadian-born contemporary artist and writer currently based in Ocala, Florida. Constantly evolving and experimenting with different mediums, Gwen is currently captivated by the unpredictability and meditative qualities of working with watercolors and inks. These mediums allow for a balance of spontaneity and control, allowing the delicate dance between intention and surrender.
Gwen’s creative journey is one of exploration and self-discovery, where every brushstroke and ink mark becomes a part of a larger conversation about process, transformation, and the beauty found in imperfection. Her work has been showcased in Downtown Fort Myers for several years, resonating with the community through its subtle yet impactful presence.
Looking ahead, Gwen is excited to continue pushing the boundaries of her practice, exploring new possibilities and deepen her artistic practice.
My work draws deeply from nature, exploring its quiet intricacies and its ability to evoke a sense of calm. I find inspiration in the interplay of light, shadow, and organic forms, translating these into abstract compositions that encourage a meditative experience.
I love working with mediums like watercolor paints, fluid acrylics and inks because of their fluidity, unpredictability, and vibrant transparency. Each piece is a journey of discovery, allowing water and pigment to flow freely while I guide the process with intention. This interplay between spontaneity and control mirrors the natural rhythms of the world and creates space for reflection. The process reflects a delicate balance between control and surrender – a dynamic that I feel reflects life itself.
Through my art, I aim to provide a moment of stillness in an otherwise chaotic world—a chance for viewers to connect with the abstract beauty of nature and find a sense of peace within themselves.
