                          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
