STATEMENT
I am primarily a painter, with a multidisciplinary practice spanning digital and traditional drawing, sculpture, jewellery, mural painting, and more. I move between mediums intuitively, guided by curiosity and a sense of play.
My work tends to be colourful and detailed, drawing inspiration from nature - animals, plants, fungi, and landscapes - as well as from patterns, colour, and a feeling of connection to something greater than myself.
Recently, I've focussed on portraiture, and paintings that shift under UV light, revealing hidden layers and inviting changing ways of seeing.
Morwenna King (Wenna) is an emerging artist based in Aberdeenshire. Raised in the Cairngorms National Park, her early exposure to art - through her mother, a practicing portrait artist - shaped her foundation in observational drawing.
She studied Fine Art at The University of Dundee, graduating with Honours in 2023. Alongside her academic practice, she established an independent art business, producing a diverse range of works including portraiture, paintings, and small-scale sculptures. Her current practive focuses on developing her artistic voice while situating her work within a broader contemporary context.
