Studio Lyric is the painting studio of Lyric Morris-Latchaw (she/her), a contemporary oil painter and muralist based in Cincinnati, OH.

She creates imaginative paintings, murals, and art objects to infuse life with beauty, intention, and a deepened, hopeful connection to the natural world. Her work reimagines common plants using whimsical colors and playful, painterly forms that speak to a communally-thriving vision of the future, beyond the shadow of the climate crisis, the two-headed snake of capitalism/colonialism, and anthropocentrism.

The studio is located on unceded, stolen ancestral land belonging to the Wazhazhe Maⁿzhaⁿ (Osage), Hopewell, Adena, Myaamia (Miami), Shawandasse Tula (Shawanwaki/Shawnee), and Kaskaskia peoples. We cannot pursue deeper connection to the natural world without first naming and working to heal the legacy of violence and disconnection that proceeds us.
