​​Morgan Bentley

   ​
​Morgan Bentley was born in Omaha and lived in Papillion until moving to Arlington as a third grader, where she stayed until graduating from Arlington High. Upon leaving high school, she attended Wayne State College in Wayne, NE to pursue a degree in Studio Art.
​
    Throughout her four and a half years at Wayne, she worked with various materials, including but not limited to: charcoal, wood, oil & acrylic paints, steel, ceramics, graphite and found objects.  She found her biggest strengths to be in her drawing and painting classes, where she eventually developed a fondness of collage & mixed media paintings.

​ Some of her biggest inspirations include plants, music, animals, advertisements, the human body, travel and surrealist artists Dali and Magritte.  Three months of study/travel in Greece sparked a passion for traveling and has influenced many of her works from that point on.

   Upon graduating from Wayne State in December 2016, she set off to find even more inspiration on her first solo back-
​packing trip through South America.  She currently resides in Sioux Falls, SD where she continues to experiment and work in different styles, with a main focus in collage.
