Artist: Morgan Hill | Location: Penland, NC
Penland, NC
Morgan Hill is a sculptor whose work draws on a wide range of aesthetic and conceptual influences from pop culture, cult films, and costuming to her Southern, Christian upbringing and experiences as the only female child in a family of farmers in Arkansas. Her longing to break the silence surrounding culturally censured topics drives her to create work on themes of death, abuse, depression, and illness, as well as their counterparts of rebirth, healing, and empowerment.
Hill’s art education began at the Memphis College of Art. She ultimately earned a BFA in Woodworking and Furniture Design from the University of Arkansas Little Rock. She was a Core Fellow at the Penland School of Craft from 2015-2017 where she worked with renowned artists and designers. In 2018, she was an ITE Windgate Fellow at the Center for Art in Wood. Her work is carried in galleries across the US and internationally. She creates her work at Treats Studios in Spruce Pine, NC, a studio cooperative she co-founded.
