Ian Paul Morrison was born in suburban Chicago
Hinsdale, Illinois where he attended elementary and
high schools.
Morrison is a graduate of Chicago’s acclaimed Columbia College where as a freshman he entered the school’s
advertising and design program. However, his skill as
a draftsman and illustrator soon surfaced.
Based on his extraordinary drawing skills, members of
the Columbia faculty encouraged Ian to focus on and
develop his drawing and painting skills in order to
pursue a promising career in the fine arts.
While still an undergraduate student, and somewhat
of a prodigy, Morrison demonstrated the skill, visual
sensibilities and painterly techniques reminiscent of
Renaissance masters such as Rubens, Titian and
Michelangelo.
After earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from
Columbia, Morrison attended the world-renowned
School of Representational Art where he studied
under Bruno Surdo.
Surdo was trained, and trains his students, in
the demanding representational style of the great
European masters. Like Surdo, the work of Ian Morrison evokes a passion for nature and the human form.
