Flower VIII

Morgan Elvington Walker received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Clemson University. After beginning her career in interior design, she transitioned into fashion. These experiences continue to influence her art, evident in her meticulous patterns, bold compositions and thoughtful interplay of structure and fluidity.

Her work reflects her deeply personal relationship with control, a theme rooted in her observations of life’s unpredictable nature. This exploration began while witnessing her late father’s frustrations with the loss of control over his penmanship due to Parkinson’s disease, juxtaposed with her then young daughter’s blissful lack of awareness of control while coloring all over the page. Over time, this theme expanded to encompass Walker’s own struggles with mental health and the broader realization of how little control we truly have.
