Fiona Morley Animal Paintings
Fiona Morley’s artwork is a combination of illustration and sculptural relief that is achieved with wire, as the line can be taken off the page and into space.
Born in Hereford, England, Morley creates work that essentially looks at our humanity, and themes she enjoys exploring are our relationships with ourselves, with loved ones and the wider community; motherhood, and individuality; explorations of our thoughts, and the pursuit of freedom from thought.
In her most recent work, Morley uses symbols found in the natural world — such as animals, birds and plant life — to represent different aspects of our inner selves. These symbols primarily illustrate the tension between the “enlightened” self and the bestial, but also an attempt to express the ultimate interconnection of all things.
“My inspiration comes from within,” explains Morley. “External experience is internalized, and my work is my personal processing made into form. The outcome often brings with it a sense of humor, which I feel is one of the more essential qualities for navigating ourselves through this life.”

Artist Comments
A group of men in hats had their photo session interrupted by an orange giraffe eager to join in. Amused by the giraffe's wide smile, they decided to keep the photo. The orange background highlights their presence and adds an energetic feel to the scene.
About the Artist
Artist John McCabe produces graphic illustrations that take a progressive spin on pop art. He typically takes influence from his music to create vibrant caricatures of people, places, and things significant to the industry. Growing up, one of the highlights for John when buying music is the artwork on the packages. Inspired by that, he created art for his first EP, and every subsequent release includes artwork for each single, plus a front and back cover for the record. "The pieces are normally tied or related to the lyrics of a particular song," shares John. "In the case where I have made a series structured around music, a unique narrative unfolds within each." As imaginative as he is, John usually paints from the island surface of his kitchen or the dining room table. His music studio also doubles as a work area where he does pre-sketches. John has had several profiles from VoyageLA, Shoutout LA, and Queen City Arts and Sounds. His record label has featured his works along with his eclectic music releases.
