Professional Experience

  • Leo Morrissey is an artist whose work deals with the personal notation of time in his everyday life. He works from a conceptual perspective; his interest is in the commonality and history of objects, not materials. He has been a recipient of a Pollack-Krasner Foundation Grant in New York NY and the Hauberg Fellowship from Pilchuck Glass School Seattle WA. His artwork has been included in exhibitions at the Museum Of Modern Art, New York, Taiwan Museum of Art, Monash Gallery in Australia, Glassmuseet Ebeltoft Denmark and the Musée du Pays et Val De Charmey, Switzerland, Eugenio de Almeida Foundation, Évora, Portugal, Galleria Carbone, Ferrara Italy. His work is included in the PIEROGI Flatfiles in New York, NY. Morrissey’s work is included in numerous public and private collections and archives including the following: Taiwan Museum of Art, ROC, Taiwan, Republic of China, Museum of Modern Art Silverman Fluxus Collection, New York, NY, Museum of Modern Art/Franklin Furnace/Artist Book Collection and the Jane Voorhees Zimmerli Museum in New Brunswick, NJ.
  • FOUND, a book of Morrissey’s work was published by Redfoxpress, Achill Island Ireland, in 2016.

Undergraduate Programs Taught

Visual Art, B.A.

Major

Art is a discipline, a practice, and a way of seeing — and GCU's B.A. in Visual Art develops all three. Through progressive studio work in drawing, visual design, and art history, you'll build the perceptual skills, conceptual depth, and portfolio that a professional art career — or advanced study in art, design, or education — requires. A small, supportive program where faculty know your work and challenge you to grow.
