Brief Biographical CV

Born in Paris, of French father, Jean-Louis Morey de Morand and White Russian mother, the family moved first to New York, then later to join her grandfather General Vladimir Sikevich in Canada.  Studying Pharmacognosy, she received a BSc Phm(Hons) from the University of Toronto, then went on to study Painting at Queen's University, Canada. From there to Wellington, New Zealand.

In New Zealand, Morey de Morand continued to study Painting, Drawing, Lithography, Etching, and Photography in the General Design Course at Massey University, Wellington, at the same time as lecturing in Pharmacognosy at the College of Pharmacy.

A year travelling through the East, drawing, writing, visiting remote excavations and religious sites, C. Morey de Morand arrived in London at the end of 1975,  where she has been resident as a professional artist ever since, accepting commissions, winning awards and exhibiting both in London and world-wide.

She has been a resident guest artist in Ahmedabad, India with John Baldessari ,
in New York State with Clement Greenberg, Anthony Caro, Helen Frankenthaler,
as well as other residencies in Canada, Russia, Turkey and Bulgaria.

With exhibitions in eighteen countries, including thirty-six solo exhibitions, C. Morey de Morand's work has been consistently abstract: the expressive elements evolving into minimalist, grid constructivist influences.  The flowing focus is always to do with light, colour, layering.
