Sarah McRae Morton - Solo Exhibition

Sarah McRae Morton’s paintings are invented portraits of her ancestors and historical figures – people from her own life, from books and paintings, and from her travels and stories learned. The events and people illustrated are not bound by time or fact but are immersed with ghosts and artifacts from cross sections of history. Sarah’s work is wildly romantic, with an earthly palette and energetic movement that quiets on key moments. The paintings seem to flicker to life with her spirited brush strokes. Sarah McRae Morton grew up in rural Lancaster, Pennsylvania, where she still keeps a hayloft studio above the horse stalls in her family’s barn. The recipient of a Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation Fellowship, Sarah studied at the University of Pennsylvania, the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture. Her works have been exhibited in the United States, Switzerland, France, and Germany.
