Bio
Morrain is a mixed media artist currently living and working in Reno, Nevada. She was born under an almond tree in Honeydew, California, and spent her childhood in landscapes adjacent to mountain lion dens and fault lines. These places and experiences continue to inform her work as an artist.
She received her B.F.A. from Sierra Nevada College with a concentration in Interdisciplinary Arts. Since graduating, she has participated in the La Wayaka Current artist residency, located in the indigenous village of Armila in the Guna Yala region of Panama.
Morrain has received many awards including the Perspectives on Design (P.O.D.) Award, and the Nevada Arts Council (NAC) Project Grant in 2020. The P.O.D award helped fund the work that was showcased in her solo exhibition, Tortuga, in 2017. Her proposed NAC project is currently in progress, as she continues her art practice and shows in both local and national exhibitions.
