Morgan McGill is a Louisville-based artist whose mixed media paintings explore themes of relationship, memory, and place. Her work focuses on the effects people have on one another and how personal histories combine to form new, shared experiences. This concept extends into her public art, where she collaborates with communities to create murals rooted in collective histories. She has worked with organizations such as The Muhammad Ali Center, HGTV, and Churchill Downs.

 

A graduate of the Hite Art Institute at the University of Louisville, McGill has studied and exhibited internationally. She was commissioned to honor Muhammad Ali with a mural for the 2021 Imagine Mural Festival and contributed to the We Don’t Wither exhibition at the Ali Center in 2023. Her recent work with Bloomberg Philanthropies helped combat urban heat and improve pedestrian safety in Louisville’s Parkland neighborhood. She has been awarded multiple grants through the Great Meadows Foundation and the Kentucky Foundation for Women, traveling abroad and using her art to document and share the stories of women throughout Kentucky.
