Artist Statement: Leslie Morgan was born & raised in the middle of a Texas desert where the nearest ocean was 600 miles away. As a kid, she dreamed of tropical islands, pirate boats & sea creatures. The public pool served as her primary mode of escape & a therapy for childhood asthma. Diving into the water then was the birth of a lifetime obsession & joy with aquatic experiences. She spent her early professional years in Key West working as a Psychologist in hospitals, jails, nursing homes & clinics. Her free time was spent anchored behind different islands on the boat she called home. Simultaneously, Morgan continued her love for Photography & dove into her current profession as an artist leaving the field of Psychology & moved to San Francisco. She began the journey of transforming this art form into her unique hybrids of painting, Photography, recycled rusted bits & collage. Her memories of the waters in the Keys & Northern California serve as undercurrents to the concepts in her work. She explores ideas tied to nostalgia, female icons, boat captaining & the oceans as well as to the environment, preservation, consumerism & re-purpose materials.
