ABOUT MORRIGAN

Morrigan Atherton (b. 2004) is a UK-based oil painter who has been pursuing her career in the arts for over eight years. Her interests began when she found peace and vulnerability through creative expression during her formative years. This is reflected in her current pieces, where she creates work that highlights the beauty and futility of life and surrealist explorations of art being used as a form of self therapy. She communicates important themes throughout her, such as psychological trauma, materialism and mortality, emphasising the significance of gratitude and living a meaningful life.

​

She has had numerous independent and collaborative art exhibitions and won prestigious competitions, which have led to her work being permanently displayed in museums and company headquarters. Additionally, she had the opportunity to speak at Buckingham Palace about her work when she was only 14. She is currently pursuing her Fine Art BA before moving on to train as a teacher and pursue an MSc in Art Psychotherapy. She is actively showcasing her work and processes on social media, where she is gaining growing recognition for her practice.
