Once asked if she didn't tire of painting trees, Morgan answered that "she would stick by her cypress trees till they sink into the sea, or - what is just as tragic and final - be hopelessly built round." Only four days before her death, she was at Point Lobos painting a cypress…a landscape painter till the end!
Morgan died in Carmel, California leaving a great legacy to California art as a teacher, organizer, and painter. Working in pastel, tempera, oil, and watercolor, she painted sand dunes, wharf scenes, adobes, landscapes, and the wind-swept cypresses of the Monterey Peninsula.
