Morgan Nicolette

A woman with dreadlocks sitting in a pond surrounded by lily pads, flowers, and animals including a fox, ducks, a dragonfly, and a deer with antlers holding a red apple. The background has lush plants, and some animals are resting under a large fallen tree. There is a blue ribbon attached to the antlers.

Morgan Nicolette’s Beneath the Canopy explores the feeling of childhood nostalgia—both comforting and mysterious. Her oil paintings on wood panel depict shadowy forests that represent memories of youth, both lost and cherished. By adding wood to the canvas, she gives her images more depth, making them feel almost three-dimensional. Each piece invites viewers to step into this dreamlike world, where the past lingers and fades at the same time.
