Sarah McRae Morton's exhibition, The Ghost of a Flea, is currently on view at Red Raven Art Company in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. The works will be on view through the month of February.
Sarah McRae Morton’s current exhibition, The Mountain Whale at Red Raven Art Company in Pennsylvania was reviewed in Lancaster Online. “Her canvases are filled with elements of history, imagination and romance, swirled together with a confidence reminiscent of the masters.” The exhibition will be on view through the end of February.
Sarah McRae Morton’s exhibition “Mapping Stars at Noon” was reviewed this week in The Seattle Times. Michael Upchurch writes, “Morton’s work is visionary, virtuosic and full of bewildering surprises. Her paintings are both rigorously composed and deliciously unhinged. The sheer energy she conveys on the canvas is a marvel.”
Sarah McRae Morton’s current show at Dowling Walsh, “The Impossible Sight of a Ship”, was well reviewed in the Portland Press Herald today.
“It is every bit as compelling as it is alarming.”
Sarah McRae Morton paints compelling, virtuoso narratives that appear as dreams or visions from another life, all opulently rendered with her skilled, animated brush. To the artist, they are “…constellations of the flickering worlds of the past, spinning thread between recorded history, family lore, mythology, and the natural world.” Morton began painting at an early age in a studio above the horse stalls at her family’s farm in rural Pennsylvania. During and after high school, she trained with the noted artist and educator Myron Barnstone, who taught her the virtues of classical design, technical drafting, harmonic color theory, and hard work. She attended the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and the University of Pennsylvania. And furthered her studies with the celebrated figurative painter Odd Nerdrum in Norway, and in Rome, where an encounter with Carravaggio’s Conversion on the Way to Damascus reminded her "... wherever I went, my compass pointed homeward." Her deep knowledge of art history and literature informs her subjects. Rigorously composed and brilliantly executed, with “fever-dream intensity” and a rich, warm palette, Morton’s wildly romantic paintings flirt with the past while dancing with the present. As William Faulkner wrote, “The past is never dead. It’s not even past.”
Sarah McRae Morton grew up in rural Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. She attended the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and the University of Pennsylvania. She furthered her art studies in Rome, Italy, and Norway, where she trained with painter Odd Nerdrum. Sarah received a Matisse Foundation Fellowship for her work on the local history of West Virginia and attended the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture. Her work has been exhibited across the country and abroad. She currently lives and paints in Rockland, Maine.
