Rather than assimilating into the art world and making her figures inhabit an urban environment, Morgan depicts social types long mocked by the mainstream media. Morgan’s hillbilly characters are the not-so-distant cousins of the poor citizens of Dogpatch, the fictional village found in the long running syndicated comic strip Lil Abner, and the less fortunate friends of the Clampett family, the central characters on the popular TV comedy The Beverly Hillbillies. The primary difference is that Morgan’s figures are more unselfconscious, rotund, raunchy, uncouth, loony, and scandalous than their mainstream counterparts. A dark satirical streak runs through her work.

I love the curvaceous forms of her drawings and the comedy of her paintings
