Note: Born in Glasgow in 1971, Morton attended the Glasgow School of Art, graduating in 1995 with an MFA in fine painting.
Her abstract paintings are often vibrant in colour using bright tones including yellow, reds, pinks and blues. Morton's larger abstract paintings often subtly include human forms such as a pair of hands or an eye.
Morton works both in Glasgow and Fossombrone, Italy drawing inspiration from the two different cultures and landscape. Morton said; "Having a combination of the two works best for me: I like to be involved but then to disappear and work quietly on my own." Today she continues to exhibit her work in a number of group and solo exhibitions such as 'Out of the Frame: Scottish Abstraction', in The McManus: Dundee's Art Gallery & Museum.
