She mentored Frank Stella and Carl Andre,[2] and had art pieces shown alongside such notable contemporaries as Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko.

She later travelled to Russia to witness and experience communism, and came back to Paris, where she met her husband, Patrick Morgan, an American contemporary artist, whose influence encouraged her to paint.

Just as her career was blooming, she decided to move with her husband to Andover Massachusetts, where he had acquired a teaching position.

As a woman artist working in a Boston suburb, away from the New York spotlight, Morgan's chances for serious recognition became severely reduced.

In a 1996 interview in the Boston Globe, Morgan confirmed that she believed her move to Andover sorely undermined the possibility of becoming recognized.

[11] To celebrate Morgan's 90th birthday in 1990, her friends donated funds to the Boston Museum of Fine Arts that established an annual award in her name to a woman artist from Massachusetts.
