Tierra Morton Lalk
Having an artist and sculptor dad and a writer mom, Colorado native Tierra Morton Lalk discovered early in life that she, too, possessed an intuitiveness for creativity. Lalk’s father, William Morton, a pioneer in museum quality carousel restoration, was her lifelong mentor and teacher. In college, Lalk pursued commercial art, earning a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Communications and Certificates in Graphics and Web Design. She spent much of her career as a freelance graphic designer and art director and always interspersed a variety of other creative arts into her projects over the years, including digital art, decorative painting on objects of home décor, faux finishes, murals, and handmade clay beads and jewelry. Lalk currently embraces a career as a Fine Artist, painting in oil and acrylic on canvas and sometimes mixed media. Lalk’s work encompasses the realistic and the abstract, often has vibrant color, many layers and is influenced by her faith, passions, and curiosity. She is a wife, mother of three adult children, a grandmother, gardener and health enthusiast. Lalk’s desire is for her art to touch the heart of the viewer, igniting hope, encouragement, joy and healing.
