About the artist
Connie Morgan is a native of Manhattan, MT where as a teenager, she went to a neon art show at the Museum of the Rockies and told herself that one day she would know how to make neon art.
After having a few trial runs at adulthood, it became increasingly apparent to Connie and her parents that she needed to find something meaningful to do with her life. Connie then recalled her long-held desire to create vibrant neon art. In pursuit of this passion, she diligently researched different schools across the country that offered the necessary skills for perfecting this unique craft. Ultimately, it came down to a tie between a renowned school in Wisconsin and another prestigious institution located in San Francisco . . . Mark Twain once said, "the coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco." With this thought in mind, Connie decided on San Francisco because, as she wittily noted, "the coldest winter I ever spent was a winter in Wisconsin." After successfully completing her education, Connie relocated to Detroit, where she spent three years crafting neon signs. Following that experience, she moved on to Seattle, then Tacoma, and later Bozeman, and eventually settled in Casper, Wyoming, all the while continuing to work in the sign business. Now, after 28 years of immersion in this creative world, working with neon has truly become a part of her identity and is in her blood.
