- Biographical Information
- To help sustain my schooling and to continue to work as an artist, I have been, at various times, a truck driver in California fruit groves, a wheel-barrow pusher on the Chicago breakwater, a superintendent of a crew of lifeboat builders, a carpenter, and a teacher. Often, when confronting a black canvas, the artist engages in a long and silent conversation. The idea inspires the artist; the artist creates the idea. The challenge is to make visual that which has never existed, except in the mind. Perhaps it is fortunate that total satisfaction is never reached in a single canvas, for each one spawns another and the search goes on. (Morris, date unknown)
