Morgan Overton is a multidisciplinary visual artist whose work explores Black interiority at the intersection of ancestral memory and Afrofuturism. Drawing from her background in advocacy psychology, and social work, she creates contemplative portraits that examine Black humanity as sacred, flourishing, and unconstrained by historical narratives of limitation.

Working across graphite, watercolor, cyanotype printing, archival collage, and embroidery, Overton combines historical research with figurative storytelling to create symbolic meditations on lineage, liberation, and becoming. Her practice incorporates photographs, maps, census records, botanical imagery, and oral histories to honor ancestral presence while envisioning futures grounded in psychological safety, emotional freedom, and self-determination.

Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally, including the United States Capitol Russell Senate Building in Washington, D.C., Carnegie Mellon University Center for the Arts in Society, the August Wilson African American Cultural Center, and the London Art Biennale. She had held artist residencies including the School of Visual Arts in New York City (2025), University of Pittsburgh's Frederick Honors College inaugural resident artist (2023-2025), and the August Wilson House (2024). Overton holds a Bachelor of Science in Psychology with a minor in Studio Arts and a Master of Social Work from the University of Pittsburgh.
