Peg Morris

Painter and printmaker Peg Morris explores dilapidation, decay, solitude, erosion and changing light conditions; processes which transform our surroundings. Fascinated by process, Peg uses different media; drawing, painting, etching, collagraphy, monotype, lithography and artist’s books. Her work is rooted in observation and drawing underpins all the images she makes. The places depicted in her work, whether interior or exterior, are quiet and contemplative; the composition leading the viewer through the space.
Peg’s studio is at her home in Gomshall in the Surrey Hills. A member of the Southbank Printmakers Gallery and the Printmakers Council, she also works at Kew Studio where she is the Print Studio Manager and teaches etching. Her work is held in the V&A archive, the PMC Archive and in private collections across the UK and abroad. She has exhibited in the RA Summer Exhibition 2022 & 2024, the Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair in 2020, 2021 and 2023, Compton Verney Print Fair in 2021, 2022 and 2023 and at the Mall Galleries with the SGFA in 2021 & 2024 and the RBA in 2023 & 2024, the RI in 2023 and the NEAC in 2024.
