This was a rare chance for collectors to see my mixed media metal sculpture bowls, and my forged iron bowls. I no longer make these, and none are now for sale.
The weekend before Valentine’s Day, I’m turning my cabin painting hermitage into a gallery for a “Big Love!” studio show! Come see artworks old and new, all with the abiding theme of the power of love.
My new paintings explore the goodness in our hearts, often hidden even from ourselves. Due to some failures of communication on my part, the show put them in a corner of the “Whimsical” section dedicated to decorating children’s rooms. You can find them if you look!
Three acrylic heart paintings on canvas. The emerging theme seems to be discovering the goodness already in our hearts, hidden even from ourselves.

Now have enough parking for a few cars at a time. It's actually ideal to see the paintings alone or with one other person. So do get in touch for a studio visit.
Call me at 706-754-6509, or email at cjmorgan (AT) heartpainter.com, and we'll set up a day and time. I have wine, beer, and snacks laid in, along with coffee and tea.
The Stonebank Farm Cabin Studio - 563 Stonebank Road, Clarkesville, GA 30523. (Second drive on the right, on Stonebank Road. Come all the way up the drive to the top of the hill.)
There went the driveway!
The big tulip polar and the red oak that fell the night of September 18 were kind enough to fall between the cabin and the two-story workshop building. They fell neatly around my car, without giving it more than a little dent. A fabulous neighbor cut a path for the car, and is clearing a lot of the trunks and branches away.
View from studio door "the morning after." At first I didn't know if the other building and the car were smashed. The trees here are wonderful, though, and spared them.
In conjunction with the exhibition of my heart paintings, I'm co-leading this one-day "quiet day" workshop with the Rev. Cynthia Hizer, Associate Priest at the Church of the Epiphany in Atlanta. We'll be meeting in a circle of heart paintings, arranged in a medicine wheel!
This event is open to anyone interested. The $30 fee includes all materials, and scholarships are available. To register, call (404) 373-8338. (Registration is open now, but spaces are limited.)
July 2-30 Exhibition of about 60 heart paintings by Catherine Jo Morgan, at the Church of Epiphany in Atlanta. Paintings span the 7-year "Unconditional Love 101" period during and after my life partner's breast cancer, Alzheimer's and ovarian cancer. Using color and the arrangement of symbols, the paintings are about joy, memories, tensions, grief, creating a new life -- and the power of love.
