Artist's
Profile: Morgan Weistling
Morgan Weistling was raised in Southern
California. Best known for realistic figurative paintings
of adults and children, he regularly participates in
both the Prix de West Invitational and Masters of the
American West Exhibits.
Morgan
won the 2000 Patron's Choice Award in the Masters of
The American West show at the Autry Museum of Western
Heritage and the 2001 Prix de West Award at The National
Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City,
OK. He also won the 2001 Nona Jean Hulsey Buyer's Choice
Award for his painting, The Dance, and the 2002 Trustees
Purchase Award from the Autry Museum .
Morgan learned to draw at a very early age due to encouragement
from his father, who was a student of art. He enjoyed
imitating his father's drawings and they spent many
happy hours sharing their love of art. By the age of
12, Morgan was using his father's art books to teach
himself more formally. He went through one entire course
on his own in which he studied anatomy, drawing, and
painting.
His mother was also very supportive of his interest
in art and decided to enroll him in the Brandes Art
Institute at the age of 15. He attended the small school
in Resuda. It was run by Fred Fixler, a retired illustrator,
who is credited for teaching Morgan how to paint. Morgan
studied there for three years, during which time he
worked part-time as a janitor for the school to pay
his tuition.
While still a student and working at an art store, Morgan
met a prominent illustrator who came in to buy supplies.
Morgan showed him some of his artwork and the next day
he found himself employed at a movie poster agency.
For the next 14 years, Morgan painted illustrations
for every movie studio in Hollywood. He became well-known
in the film industry for his illustrations and amazing
celebrity likenesses.
Morgan was often required to work as long as 48 hours
at a time, reworking his paintings to please his clients
and setting up props to recreate scenes authentically.
In addition to movie posters, he designed several collector
plate series that include science fictions scenes from
Star Trek and Star Wars. His designs were also used
on Sega pinball machines, numerous magazines, books,
CDs, and video covers.
The Plate Lady carries a limited number of Morgan's
Science Fiction Limited
Edition Art plates from his Star Trek and Star Wars
collections so that we can offer them to our customers
who are shopping for those gift items.
After many years of being art-directed, Morgan decided
to start painting for himself. On the advise of a friend,
he took his paintings to Scottsdale Arizona and the
first gallery he walked into, Trailside Galleries, signed
him on the spot. His paintings sold quickly and his
first one-man show had 26 paintings that all sold on
the opening night. The following year, at his second
one-man show they sold out on opening night, as well.
Morgan’s oil paintings have been published by
Mill Pond Press since 1998 and Greenwich Workshop publishes
his paintings as giclee canvases |
