Bio

In his ongoing series of drawings Imaging Power and Flux, Jim Morris is exploring the ways in which the language of graphical information is used to make visual the dynamics aspects of our world. His work draws from charts, maps and diagrams and a wide-range of imaging processes that give visual form to the often invisible.

Jim has received fellowships that include a summer Fulbright to Malaysia and Singapore, a Pollock-Krasner Fellowship, NEA/Mid Atlantic Artists Fellowship, the George Sugarman Foundation, and a fellowship from the Southeast Center for Contemporary Art in North Carolina. He has participated in artist residencies at the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts, The Institute for Electronic Arts at Alfred University, The Triangle Arts International Workshop in NYC,  Sculpture Space, and the Pyramid Atlantic Art Center Print Studio. His work has been featured in solo exhibitions at the Delaware Center for Contemporary Arts, Draper Gallery; Gallery Q in Rochester, NY; and Anadolu University in Eskisehir, Turkey. He has an upcoming solo exhibition of his drawings at the Buffalo Arts Studio in 2022.

Jim Morris received his MFA from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst and is an alumnus of the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture. He lives in western Massachusetts and maintains a studio in Holyoke, Massachusetts.
