Hi, I'm Sara.
My name is Sara Morales-Morgan, and I'm an artist. Through ceramics, illustration, painting, and surface design, I create artwork for lovers of flowers, dark whimsy, and magic. I earned my Master’s degree in Ceramics from Edinboro University of Pennsylvania, and my Bachelor’s degree in Studio Art from the University of South Alabama. I exhibit my fine art nationally, have been a resident artist at institutions in Maryland, Tennessee, and Maine, and in 2023 I was selected as one of Ceramics Monthly's annual Emerging Artists and had my work featured on the cover. I have had my artwork included in multiple publications, and I have created product designs and digital illustrations for a number of nonprofits and brands. I make work out of my home studio in Huntsville, Alabama with the help of my feline assistant (Lissie), I'm married to my best friend, and I have a few chronic illnesses.
My ceramic artwork explores my notions of identity, health, and life to discuss universal experiences. I use a personal vocabulary of imagery and symbolism to illustrate open narratives that invite viewers to imagine their own stories and relationships. I draw inspiration from many things, including: historical artworks and folktales; contemporary illustration, animation, and tattoo; women's history; and my personal experiences. Flowers play a large role in my work. They have rich historical correlations to communication, and brief, beautiful life cycles that remind us to appreciate life and acknowledge death.
