About Morgan Curl
Academic Background
Morgan Curl is a painter from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She studied at the University of Pennsylvania, earning her degree in Anthropology with a concentration in Archaeology, as well as a minor in Art History.
Before formally studying art, Morgan explored drawing and painting independently, developing a strong appreciation for representational work and historical techniques.

Current
Morgan is currently enrolled at the Florence Academy of Art in Florence, Italy- a school known for its rigorous, traditional approach to drawing and painting. The Academy follows the 19th-century atelier model, emphasizing observation, discipline, and a step-by-step progression from cast drawing to figure painting.
Her training includes intensive work in charcoal drawing, cast studies, and portraiture from life, as well as a focus on light, form, and anatomy. The program offers a slow, methodical education that reinforces technical skill and visual accuracy.
