Marcolina’s Fine Arts Gallery is proud to introduce Morgan Guinessey, a Texas-born artist now living and working in Tampa, Florida, whose work will be featured in the upcoming exhibition, Untamed, opening February 8th. As the sole emerging artist in this powerful collective, Morgan’s art speaks on the untamed beauty of the natural world and its profound connection to human emotions.
Morgan’s work is a vivid exploration of the interconnectedness between nature and the self. Through surrealist-expressionist representations of trees, animals, mushrooms, and other natural forms, her art portrays the wonder and fragility of the environment. Each piece reflects a deep veneration for the wild, using pulsating colors and elaborate details to tell stories of growth, resilience, and the delicate balance of life. Morgan invites viewers to explore the untamed aspects of both the natural world and their own inner landscapes.
“Being an artist is so much more than a job title or how many pieces don’t make it to the public eye.” Morgan shares. “It’s a lifestyle, taking in the world in a different way than the rest and helping us feel things in a world where screens are king.”
Morgan’s artistic journey has been defined by growth and transformation. From early experiments with different mediums to developing a unique style that celebrates the natural world, her work has evolved into a powerful expression of imagination and purpose. Now, as an artist balancing creative work with teaching in Tampa, Morgan continues to push boundaries, creating pieces that resonate deeply with viewers and inspire reflection on the world around us.
Untamed marks a significant moment in Morgan’s career, offering a platform to share her vision of the wild’s beauty and importance. The exhibition invites viewers on a transformative journey, reconnecting with the natural world and exploring the themes of freedom, strength, and vulnerability that run through her work.
We invite you to experience Untamed and the remarkable art of Morgan Guinessey at Marcolina’s Fine Arts Gallery, opening February 7th with our yearly Masquerade Party. Discover a world where imagination meets awareness and nature’s voice is given vivid expression. The exhibition will run through April 2025, with an opening reception where visitors can meet the artist and gain insight into her creative process.
