  In this large scale painting, is it ‘uncertain' which room has the view? Is it the room within the top left hand green window or is it the large room in the forefront of the painting which is filled with flowers entangled with ‘run away weeds’?  Within the painting are mono-prints taken from plastic food packaging, which highlight its current use in society and of course it ongoing damage to our fertile growing land. Painted using household paints, normally associated with upkeep of the home or decorating paint for windows, doors and balconies. Here the artwork has transformed. The masculine working paint  into a lively, uplifting, energetic and most feminine artwork, highlighting the diversity of all materials and versatility outside of their original box .

  Morrissey’s work is inspired by organic form & the landscape. Her work is often large scale and includes a variety of media such as acrylic, oil, Indian ink and collage. The pictorial space is filled with vibrant colour and gestural mark-making- a response to the primary source she is inspired by. Often, the works are ‘Untitled’ to allow the viewer to make their own connections and interpretations.
  
  She holds a First Class BA (Hons) in Visual Arts and Communication from the University of Kent, Canterbury, UK and an MAin Design from the University of Creative Arts, Rochester, Kent, UK.
