​Morgan McGuirk

​Morgan specializes in realistic acrylic pet portraits and landscapes. She has been a professional artist for 8 years and recently got a studio, to complete a big painting of her favorite dog. She has a collection of rose paintings in progress and she looks forward to trying to make enough botanical art for an exhibit in 2025.
