Maddie Morris is a Sheffield-based artist, working with distortion portraiture identity and abstraction. Her work consists of paint on raw canvas in mixed fluid media, including oil and acrylic paint, allowing for the creation of expressive and fragmented portraits.

Morris has learned to cultivate a deeper trust in her intuition during the painting process, embracing unpredictability and imperfection through her work. She is drawn towards distortion as a way to move away from realism. Her practice has been driven by finding the right level of distortion alongside exploring how identity and spontaneity can emerge through honest, gestural mark making.
