I AM AN ARTIST, POET, AND MUSICIAN. MY WORK IS INSPIRED BY STORIES, CONVERSATIONS, AND EVERY DAY. I SEE ART-MAKING AS A WAY TO CONNECT WITH OTHERS, STAY CURIOUS, AND GROW IN EMPATHY. YOU CAN FIND MY ART ON PRINTS, JOURNALS, STICKERS, AND MORE AT MY SHOP GARDEN24. YOU CAN FIND DAILY READS AND MORE ON MY APP STORYTELLER. YOU CAN SEND ME A NOTE HERE.


Morgan Harper Nichols is an artist and poet whose work is inspired by real-life interactions and stories. Morgan spent the first couple of years of her professional life as a college admission counselor, and then, as a full-time touring singer-songwriter and musician. It was on the road that she cultivated her curiosity and passion for writing, art, and design and slowly began to share her work online.


In 2017, Morgan started a project where she invites people to submit their stories to her website. From there, she creates art as a response to their stories and sends it to them before sharing the work publicly. All stories and names are kept private. The fruit of this project is shared daily around social media, in publications, and in various creative collaborations and installations.


As an artist, Morgan has collaborated with a wide range of brands including Coach, Adobe, Vogue Singapore, Aerie, and more. As a designer and author her work has been available in many stores, including Anthropologie, Barnes and Noble, and Target. Her book of poetry and art, “All Along You Were Blooming,” is available where books are sold. She is on the board of directors at TWLOHA (To Write Love on Her Arms).


Morgan is originally from Atlanta, Georgia, and she and her husband Patrick currently reside with their son Jacob, in Phoenix, Arizona, where you can also find her studio and shop, Garden24.



How Far You Have Come is an exquisitely illustrated collection of poetry and essays from bestselling artist and writer Morgan Harper Nichols. In the midst of the hurt and the mundane, the questions and the not-yets, we can forget just how far we have come. Morgan weaves together personal reflections with her signature poems to share her journey to reclaim moments of brokenness, division, and pain and re-envision them as experiences of reconciliation, unity, and hope.



  • Awaken our hearts and recognize how our own histories have made us who we are today
  • Have a deeper understanding of pressing on and pressing in, of transformation and surrender, of meaning in the losses and wild anticipation for the splendor ahead
  • Reclaim moments of brokenness, division, and pain and re-envision them as experiences of reconciliation, unity, and hope
  • Become who we are in the moment you hold right now
