While a student of Fairhope’s IB program, Morgan wrote, “To me, my art is not just a ‘one day fling’. It consumes my whole life until all that crosses my mind are the wild colors and paintings that surround me. At this point, I realize that my life is basically composed of a million tiny masterpieces, all located in a single spot. It is this purpose I stress in my artwork: the individual moments that, when put together, make up my person. And so, I decided to focus on as many ‘tiny masterpieces’ as I could that tell my story, the story of Morgan Thompson.”
