MEET OUR MORNING GLORY ARTISTS

The Human Form Who: Kate Morgan Creative Portraiture in All Mediums Columbus, OH katemorganimagedesign.com I am a stylistic amalgamation of artists that I love spanning time and place beyond what the Roman Empire could even fathom. I range from primitive to contemporary fashion photography but especially lean toward Byzantine and the Vienna Secession. I am a tactile maker so I love to create layers with my collage, watercolor and gold leaf. Favorite Piece: They're like my children so could never choose! I really love the concept of sirens so any piece from my series of women on the rocks . Something Unexpected: My BFA is in commercial photography but I found drawing more satisfying. I’m inspired by folklore, mythology and the human form. My work constantly shifts and moves while nodding and making reference to stylistic and cultural symbols. Keen Observation Who: Jes Zange Fiber Artist Brookfield, WI Jeszange.com I began as a painter but fell in love with fiber and from there my technique was born. I have always been a keen observer of my surroundings. I love my process because it allows me to take the colors and textures I see out in the world and make them again in my work.  Favorite Piece: It’s hard to choose but I’ve really embraced color in my newest collection. “Outside Avignon” inspired my shift to more color so it holds an extra special place in my heart.  Something Unexpected: I’ve always wanted to be an artist but didn’t have the guts to pursue it until I became a mother and found out I was capable of anything. Oh, and I’ve been to Disney World more than 25 times!

Just Ask!

Our artists love talking about their art. When a piece speaks to you, feel free to ask the artist what inspired him/her, how they created the piece, what materials they used, etc. Mark your calendar for Aug. 10 & 11, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., for the 45th annual Morning Glory Art Fair hosted by the Wisconsin Designer Crafts Council (WDCC) .
