It's been another giant step into the art world for North Coast Nisga'a Artist Kari Morgan this month, as the work of the multi-talented member of the Nisga'a Nation has been the subject of a solo showcase event this month at a Seattle Art Gallery.

Since April 7th, Ms. Morgan's work has been on display at the Stonington Gallery located in the heart of the downtown cultural area of Pioneer Square in Seattle, the showing featuring items from her Pos-Apocalyptic collection.

To introduce the artist and her North Coast collection to Seattle, the gallery has featured Ms. Morgan in a video feature that highlights her passion for the stylings of her home territory. 

A collection of items that features, carvings, paintings and prints. The Showing comes to a conclusion on Saturday, April 30th.

As part of the showing, the Stonington Gallery explored some of her artistic press with Ms. Morgan through a second video which provides a half hour glimpse into how a work morphs from concept to creation.

As noted previous her work has been on display at a range of venues across the Northwest, Lower Mainland and into the United States.

Regular readers of the blog have followed along with us as we've noted some of the previous passages of her transit ahead through her art, from her commissioned pieces for Coast Mountain Community college, an institution which she once studied at through the Freda Diesing School of Northwest Coast Art.

Some of her items are even as close to us as a downtown mural project, or a bus pulling into the Prince Rupert Hospital or transiting along Highway 16 and points beyond.

You can follow what is ahead for the young Nisga'a Artist through her Facebook portal Kari Morgan Designs or the website of her work available here.
