 Tina Morgan studied Industrial Design in Cornwall, and went on to work as an Art Director in London for a number of top creative advertising agencies. Having always painted in her spare time, Tina continued doing so and it was whilst working in advertising that she began to receive awards in Britain and Europe for her work.
In 1983 she and her husband took an 18 month sabbatical sailing to North Africa and then across the Atlantic to the Caribbean. Upon her return to England, Tina decided to paint full time, finding immediate and considerable success exhibiting in many major galleries throughout the country.
Tina states that “The memory of a scene for me has always been far more interesting than the impression viewed on the day. So I capture the moment with a pastel or pencil sketch and photos, then spend a long time just observing the view – how the light plays with the shapes I see, and how the atmosphere effects me. Later I work with my memory and references to produce a painting which I think is far more exciting and creative than one which I would have produced on the spot.”
Tina continues to work to excellent critical acclaim, and her work is featured in many collections worldwide.
