The Edmonds Arts Commission presents an exhibit of work by Mountlake Terrace artist Andrew Morrison in the EAC display case at the Frances Anderson Center, now through July 30.

Andrew Morrison states that his work is positive, powerful, traditional, modern, innovative and always on the cutting edge of creation. It reflects his Native American heritage. He is always willing to try new things, develop new ways and create new opportunities. Morrison feels he has an obligation and responsibility to use this God-given talent in a divine way to better himself, his family and community.

Morrison’s work has been featured at Artworks in Edmonds and at the Edmonds School District Administration Center. Morrison’s paintings and murals have been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions in galleries and universities throughout the Northwest and the United States. In addition, his work is in public and corporate collections, including those of the Seattle Indian Health Board, Iwasil Boys and Girls Club, United Indians, Daybreak Star Indian Cultural Center, El Centro De La Raza, Edmonds Community College, Portland State University, Seattle Public Schools, Wilson Pacific School, Mountlake Terrace High School, Suquamish Clearwater Casino, Snoqualmie Casino and the Potlatch Fund.

He was selected as the Edmonds Arts Festival Junior Poster Artist in 1996 and received Edmonds Arts Festival Foundation university scholarships in 2002 and 2004. Andrew is the recipient of numerous awards and honors. He received full tuition scholarships from the Rhode Island School of Design in Providence, R.I., and the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, Mass., and received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Tufts University in Medford, Mass.
