Collection: Blue Rooster Arts

Andrea Morgan is a self-taught painter and papier-mâché sculptor living in the Blackfoot River Valley of western Montana. Her various occupations (restoration ecologist, landscaper, vegetable farmer) have kept her hands in the dirt and her head in the clouds for as long as she can recall. Morgan’s art is, in essence, an expression of her wonder and curiosity as she explores the wild lands and wild characters in the quiet spaces of her habitat. 

She began making papier-mâché animal heads as a satire on traditional wildlife taxidermy found all over Montana. She hand-builds her faux taxidermy sculptures using recycled and upcycled materials such as newspaper, cheesy paperback novels, antique sheet music, paper grocery sacks and security envelopes. She assures us that absolutely no bloodshed was involved in the creation of these creatures. In fact, her taxidermy is 100% animal friendly, just like Andrea.
