“Your memories deserve to be commemorated with pride. In the past, patrons of the arts were those who celebrated marriage, life, death, togetherness, passion, and memories through the hands of artists. One of the best known artists, Michelangelo, created through his religious faith and was supported through patrons of the church. While Michelangelo painted religious scenes for churches, many artists like Jan van Eyck or Hans Holbein painted kings, queens, and aristocrats. Fast-forwarding from the 15th and 16th centuries to the 21st century, it’s easy to say that times have drastically changed. However, we still long to commemorate our lives through portraiture and still life paintings. The only difference is that it is not only for kings and queens. It is for you and me, royalty in our own rights. I look at my work as my participation in painting history, commemorating the lives of today and their full importance through art. It is my passion and honor to paint your memories into history.”    —Morgan
