Dawson Morgan finds the way a ceramic piece interacts with light and darkness to be an important factor in her work. She often incorporates shadow as an integral element in her hand-built pieces, which “becomes a feature much like color or size.” Morgan harbors great appreciation for beauty found in the natural colors and textures of the Gulf Coast. The artist says, "I relish the nuances that add depth and interest to my work." Morgan can often be found collecting sticks, vines, shells, or rocks that in turn inspire her art. Morgan's unique pieces, both Raku andStoneware, can be found in numerous settings. The artist resides in Fairhope, Alabama.
