This site was created to preserve, archive, and share the work of Richard L. Morrison. It offers a glimpse into the hand-drawn artistry that shaped art, architecture, and engineering in the 1940s, 50s, 60s, and 70s before the arrival of digital tools.
Alongside technical drawings and conceptual renderings, this archive also highlights Morrison’s more personal artwork. From childhood drawings that offer a glimpse into public school assignments of the 1930s to expressive landscapes inspired by Utah and its surrounding mountains and prairies, this collection reflects the life of a skilled designer and that of an everyday person, father, and grandfather.
This body of work serves as a quiet time capsule, revealing and documenting a creative's life journey.
