Annette Morris(1948-2022) studied art at The University of Texas at Austin. She earned her Bachelor's degree and settled in Austin for the next 30 years.  

Early work experiences included graphic design for Texas Parks and Wildlife and for Seton Hospital, but she came to realize a greater passion for creating her own art and living her life on her terms. Annette launched herself as an independent female artist in the late 1970s.

Annette became a skilled stone lithograph artist, with a passion for depicting Mayan culture and the Texas countryside. She spent two decades traveling the country in her black Ford "Darth Van," exhibiting and selling her work at art shows, maintaining a beautiful home in Austin as her base, and supporting herself through her art sales.

Deeply inspired by her extensive travels, cultural expeditions, and a passion for rural topographies, Morris spent decades creating highly detailed visual studies that translate the specific essence of a region onto the printmaking matrix.
