About

Janet Morrow is a retired art and disabilities studies educator living in Framingham, Massachusetts. Over time, she has worked in a wide variety of media, selecting the materials that are most appropriate to express a particular concept, but at present she is mostly working in colored pencil on paper.

In the past, much of her work examined issues of otherness, deafness and disability, frequently taking the form of installations composed of abstract sculptural forms. Her most recent work, however, reflects the quiet joy of daily life, family bonds, and the beauty of the world seen through the eyes of a child.

Morrow holds a BFA from Southern Methodist University, an MFA from The University of Texas at Arlington and K-12 Art Teaching Certification from The University of Texas at Arlington. Her work has been exhibited at Gonzo Unit in Thessaloniki, Greece, Surface Gallery in Nottingham, England, The Smithsonian International Gallery in Washington, D.C., Access Gallery in Austin, Circle Gallery at The Maryland Foundation of Art in Annapolis, Brooklyn Waterfront Artists Coalition, The Long Beach Island Foundation in Loveladies, New Jersey, Altered Esthetics Gallery in Minneapolis, and many other venues.

Morrow has taught drawing, 3D design, and disability studies at The University of Texas at Arlington and drawing, 2D design, digital art and art appreciation at Tarrant County College NE Campus. She has taught 3D workshops for Imagination Fort Worth (formerly Imagination Celebration) and recreational art workshops for MHMR of Tarrant County and has presented research and lectures at The Modern Museum of Art in Fort Worth, Society for Disability Studies Conference, The University of Texas at Dallas and The University of North Texas.
