Come Meet, Eat & Greet Morgan Stahl during her reception at the Architecture, Design, and Art Library Nov 8th at 12pm. She will be talking about her new exhibit Time Steel Capsule on view November 2019- January 2020.
“Steel Time Capsule is a collection of various memories and representations of myself, my family, and our experiences. Whether it is an item from my grandparent’s house or moment from a fun family vacation, I documented many things from my childhood through my art and sketches.”
Morgan Stahl
Morgan Stahl is a designer from Baltimore, Maryland. She moved to Houston to study Architecture at the University of Houston. She is in her fifth and final year of school and will graduate in May 2020. Morgan currently works at DEK Studio as a design professional on various small residential and commercial projects. She first started sketching in middle school while also taking many art classes in and outside of school to continuously learn more about design and art itself.

“As an artist, I look to introduce life of a certain people that is not familiar to the western world. I want to introduce people to a major people’s way of life through imagery and abstraction using different mediums.
In this exhibition, “Culture for the People” I will focus on abstraction of reality from today’s society coming from my upbringing with the things I learnt from my perspective to things that I felt was necessary to talk about.”
