Olive Press, Abstract Oil Painting

Artist Comments
Artist Morgan Fite utilizes palette knives to create subtle, feathery layers in this abstract piece. "I was inspired by the olive tree, an unexpected evergreen whose fruit, much like us, undergoes immense crushing and pressing in order to produce its cherished oil."

About the Artist
Abstract artist and Tennessee-native Morgan Fite paints delicate compositions that allude to natural forms and changing light. She paints with neutral tones and feathery brushstrokes that give her art its soft and dreamlike quality. She is inspired by her travels and cites the earthy tones of Central Africa and the textures of Roman architecture as particularly influential. For each piece, she begins her process by selecting a color palette from her collection of flowers and rocks. Throughout her portfolio, Morgan strives to make art that invites, moves, and inspires.
