Having grown up hunting for unusual rocks and exploring the deep ravines in the woods behind her childhood home, Morgan Mercer is a Twin Cities-based oil painter and collage artist who still has a fascination for finding wonder in unexpected places. For each collage, she sources hundreds of potential images online before cutting each out by hand and arranging them into a finished piece. Her work is a catalog of moments and scenes that encapsulate feelings of wonder, curiosity, adventure and discovery.
