Cleveland Morris is a still-life artist living in Staunton, VA. Although he is known to many Delawareans for his twenty years as artistic director of the Delaware Theatre Company, he now views his theatrical career as a fascinating detour on his way to becoming a full-time painter. His first solo show was at Carspecken Scott in 1999, and he has been a frequent exhibitor at the gallery ever since. Additionally, his work has been seen in numerous one-man shows in Maryland and Virginia, as well as in many invitational and juried group shows in the Mid Atlantic region. In his paintings, he seeks a fusion of austerity and sensuality, while celebrating the sublime in the everyday.
