A Texas native, Marla Morrison was born in

El Paso, spent her school years in Lake Jackson, got her B.F.A. in drawing at Texas State University in San Marcos, and now resides in Allen with her husband and three children. She lived in California for a bit where she earned an M.F.A. in painting from Claremont Graduate University.

As someone who is inspired by all sorts of art media, Marla seeks to show beauty in color, design, and the physical behaviors of resin or paint. For her, making art is about the process, just as much as the end result. It’s her hope that the work will bring joy to whomever has it!
