Theodore Morris is an artist whose work is a journey through time. He uses oil painting as a visual language to depict Florida's native cultures that have been lost in the mist of time. His realistic portrayal of these ancient people is not a romantic image, but a sensitive understanding of their way of life. Morris works very closely with archaeologists and anthropologists throughout the State of Florida gathering the latest accurate information pertaining to artifacts and documentation for his oil paintings. He has spent many hours working at excavations in Florida. His works presently hang in museums, corporate and private collections throughout North America, Ireland, England, and Australia.
