Petrona Morrison (b. 1954, Manchester, Jamaica) is a multi-media artist whose work engages deeply personal, as well as socio-political concerns through assemblages and installations, and more recently digital photography and video. Themes of fragility, survival and resilience reoccur in her practice. In 2014 she retired as the Director of the School of Visual Arts, Edna Manley College of the Visual and Performing Arts and currently lives in Kingston, Jamaica.
