Biography
Born in 1955, Malawi, Africa
Shelagh Morgan studied printmaking at Southern Cross University, Northern NSW. She completed a PhD in 2000.
She mounted her first solo exhibition in 1989 at Roz McCallum Gallery in Brisbane and regularly exhibited at Legge Gallery Sydney until
2005.
The consistent theme in her work over the last 20 years has been place and landscape. She employs cross-studio techniques in the
construction of her work, including print, paint, mixed media, photography and digital print and video.
ÒI see my art practice as an ongoing process of negotiation between self and site and a performance of the rhetoric that intellectualises
place, space, land, landscapeÓ.
Her work is discussed in New Art VI, Neville Drury, Craftsman House, 1992, Contemporary Australian Art. ed. N. Drury, Craftmans
House, 1993 and ÔCritical Mass Ð Printmaking Beyond the EdgeÕ by Richard Noyce, 2010.
Her work is included in the National Gallery of Australia, The Queensland Art Gallery, the Queensland State Library, Brisbane as well as
many state regional and private collections.
