Paradigm Shift

by Margaret Morrison

January 29-July 26

Opening reception with the artist: January 29, 6:00 p.m.

Paradigm Shift springs from the artist’s sense of loss she experienced when her religious perspective fell apart. Sifting through the ruins, she built a new faith paradigm and found deeper spirituality and inner peace. Each painting in the series traces the steps of her journey from trusting follower to a questioning believer, through a terrible sadness and eventually, transcendence.

Margaret Morrison is a Professor of Art and Area Chair of Drawing and Painting in the Lamar Dodd School of Art at the University of Georgia. She has been represented by Woodward Gallery since 1995. Her solo exhibition, Paradigm Shift, was featured at the Lyndon House Art Center in 2023. She was awarded Best in Show at ArtFields 2023 Fine Art Exhibition and Competition. Her paintings are currently in Picture This, traveling to art museums throughout Georgia. She is concurrently featured in a Solo Exhibition in NYC with Woodward Gallery at 60 Pine Street

This free exhibit can be viewed Monday-Friday, 10:00 am – 5:00 pm, and during all public events and performances.
