Artists Talk with LVA: April 10, 2025

Morgan McGill & Haylie Fitzgibbon are featured in the 2025 Art in City Hall exhibition and will join us in the studio this week. Tune into WXOX 97.1 FM/Artxfm.com each Thursday at 10 am to hear Artists Talk with LVA.

Morgan McGill is a Louisville-based artist and designer who blends collage, printmaking, and painting to explore themes of empowerment and community. In both her studio work and public art, her work focuses on storytelling, particularly highlighting the ways women support and uplift one another. 

A graduate of the Hite Art Institute at the University of Louisville, McGill has studied and exhibited internationally. She was commissioned to honor Muhammad Ali with a mural for the 2021 Imagine Mural Festival and contributed to the We Don’t Wither exhibition at the Muhammad Ali Center in 2023. Her recent work with Bloomberg Philanthropies helped combat urban heat and improve pedestrian safety in Louisville’s Parkland neighborhood. She has been awarded multiple grants through the Great Meadows Foundation and the Kentucky Foundation for Women, using her art to document and share the stories of women throughout Kentucky.

Haylie Fitzgibbon is a printmaker and mixed media artist born and raised in Louisville, currently pursuing a BFA at the Hite Art Institute at the University of Louisville. Her work showcases themes of childhood nostalgia, love, and the blend of chaos and beauty of nature.

Both artists are featured in the 2025 Art in City Hall exhibit that runs through the remainder of the year.
