Vicki J. Morris is a former educator who channeled her passion for teaching into the vibrant world of abstract and impressionistic art.

Drawing from years of encouraging students to explore and expand boundaries—literal, figurative, and rhythmic—Vicki now applies this philosophy to her canvas. She creates dynamic paintings using vivid colors and intriguing shapes that evolve into tapestries of understated elegance and intricate meaning.

Each piece is a visual “story teller,” revealing layers of spontaneous themes and discovery that shift with the viewer’s perspective. Driven by an optimistic, colorful philosophy, Vicki hopes her joyful, boundary-free creations inspire others to wander and wonder.

Vicki J. Morris has always been a guide for exploration. For years, she encouraged her students and student teachers to look beyond the literal, to discover new perspectives by pushing the boundaries of shape and form. Now, she applies that same enthusiastic, dedicated spirit to her own art, transforming the canvas into a world of vivid color and spontaneous discovery.

The artist frequently provides an “INTENTION” and personal message for the recipient of her unique creations, making each painting an intimate exchange.

A Philosophy Painted in Color
A core element of Vicki’s inspiration is her commitment to a colorful, vibrant environment and an optimistic outlook on life. This joyful philosophy is not just a backdrop for her work; it is woven directly into every brushstroke. She chooses vivid colors and interesting shapes to create pieces that exude understated elegance and infectious energy.
“My wish is that my own joyful, ‘colorful’ philosophy contagiously translates through my paintings to those who are attracted to them. Creating abstract or impressionistic art is the perfect template for allowing one’s mind to wander … and wonder.”

This commitment to connection is made explicit through a unique feature of her art: each piece comes with a written “INTENTION”—a personal message directed specifically to the recipient, making the work an intimate and meaningful exchange.
