Rachel Morgan is an aspiring artist from New England who recently moved to California on her quest to find a place that felt dynamic, interesting, and inspiring enough to call ‘home’. She now lives in downtown LA and is loving the grit and texture of the city, finding beauty in the small details that are often overlooked or viewed negatively. Her latest series of black and white ink drawings takes inspiration from what is often considered the ‘unglamorous’ side of city living- such as graffiti, stains, dirt, and garbage in her new neighborhood- and turning them into highly-textured and beautiful abstractions. She believes strongly in always taking time to find and appreciate the beauty in things, even if it takes looked a bit below the surface or using your imagination.
