In 2017, she began a residency within the Five Points Gallery Launchpad program located in downtown Torrington. This led to management of the community pop-up gallery, the Five Points Annex, where she volunteered her time as a Public Relations liaison, and eventually going on to develop and design the new Five Points Arts website. Through her involvement with the gallery, she brought her skills and expertise to work at Eckert Fine Art as Gallery Manager for two years.

In addition to her affiliations with Eckert Fine Art and Five Points Gallery, she has long been embroiled in the world of digital media marketing. For over three years, she worked as a Brand Manager and Digital Media Specialist for renowned art supply distributor and manufacturer, Alvin & Co., Inc. as well as providing graphic design, commercial photography and videography, and website development and design on a freelance basis.

In 2019, she went on to work with the Hartford Business Improvement District and Hartford.com overseeing marketing, communications, and social media, where she remains currently as the Director of Marketing. Within her first year, she redesigned, developed, and implemented a robust website garnering over 30,000 users per month. In 2020, she brought her background in non-traditional creative marketing to the International Downtown Association’s Annual Conference as a panelist and in 2022 she participated in the Emerging Leaders Fellowship in New York City.

Morris’ experimental work has been described as “works that are windows into a liquid chaos that are both materially menacing and sublime”. This alternative process photography is created by manipulating dark room chemistry and development techniques onto light sensitive photographic paper. This cameraless approach to image making results in highly abstract surfaces that are color infused, fluid, topographical, and profoundly suggestive.
