Caitlin Morris

Caitlin Morris is a multidisciplinary artist born in a dorm room in New Haven, CT. She began fine arts study in the small town of Davidson, NC. Her work is informed by a Catholic upbringing, academic focus in Women’s Studies, and growing up in different parts of the United States. Caitlin’s journey from East to West Coast, as well as Midwestern and Southern regions exposed her to unique people, places and ways of thinking.

Caitlin’s acrylic paintings and illustrations depict the world through a nonconformist lens that celebrates individuality and pays homage to colorful subcultures and childhood nostalgia through dreamlike imagery. Her figurative work rejects stereotypes of gender, race, and sexual orientation in exchange for empowered protagonists that fearlessly display strength, vulnerability, and take up space.

Caitlin’s work has been featured in galleries and museums across the U.S. and Europe. In 2023, the City of Charlotte funded for her curatorial debut of Thrive, a mental health themed art exhibit and immersive community event. In 2022, the Arts & Science Council of Charlotte named her an Emerging Creative Fellowship semi-finalist. Caitlin has served on the Board of the Guild of Charlotte Artists as well as a Panelist for the San Antonio Arts Commission. In addition, she has been awarded solo exhibitions, commissioned for commercial work, murals and community programming initiatives. Her work is held privately throughout the U.S. and Europe.

Prior to a professional arts career, Caitlin found success as a janitor, nonprofit program manager, musician, street outreach worker, and even pursued a decade-long career in finance including, obtaining a CFP® certification among other designations.

In 2024, Caitlin relocated to San Antonio, TX. Currently, she is registered by the city as a Prequalified Public Art artist. She is excited to create work reflective of San Antonio’s vibrancy. Additionally, she is focused on bringing themes of her paintings to life through short film and scoring. She aims to captivate audiences by finding the intersection of gripping music and striking imagery to share ethereal yet gritty storylines.
