Artwork by Morris was exhibited at the MGM Grand Hotel Art Gallery in Las Vegas in 1978.
He had produced over 20,000 pastel portraits and 50 large oil portraits with a large number of bronzes by 1960 and has left us with an even larger number of works to enjoy.

After attending the University of Arkansas, the Kansas City native spent three years perfecting his original portraiture style and technique at the Kansas City Art Institute and the Billy Moran Scool  of Art.

Morris acclaimed that “My goal as a portrait artist was to create a three-dimensional form on a flat surface, to sculpt on canvas.  That led me to explore, bust and figure sculpture.  Clay conveys a powerful sense of shape and form.”

Of his bust of the great Sioux Chief Crazy Horse, Morris stated, “Crazy Horse was an inspirational leader of the Lakotas.  He never lost a battle, and never had his picture taken.  That made the task of creating his image in bronze all the more challenging.”
