MEDIUMS: Oil Paint | Digital
SPECIALTY: ✔ Technical, ✔ Business

VR Morrison is well known for her highly realistic and lavish artworks that use beauty as an artifice to explore dark and ominous morality tales. She is a widely acclaimed artist known for her highly realistic and lavish oil paintings that draw inspiration from classical painting traditions and allegorical subject matter which is mediated through her interest in popular culture, natural history and haute fashion. Her career began in Australia mid 2000’s where she self directed her study of oil painting in techniques of the Old Masters. She later moved to the South of France where she immersed herself in the rich European art history and culture. For over 20 years she has refined the techniques of master painters through her contemporary art practices and is a proven commercially successful artist.. Through this she has developed simple, logical and easily replicated methods that her enable her to teach others to fast track their skills in a range of painting techniques, from classical oil painting to various illustration styles. Her career path includes commercial illustration and tertiary lecturing fine art in prestigious art universities and colleges. She currently lives and works on the Gold Coast, Australia.
