Rowena Morrill

Rowena A. Morrill (born 1944) is well known in the world of science-fiction and fantasy illustration. During a career that has spanned over 20 years, her paintings have appeared on hundreds of book covers, on calendars, portfolios, trading cards and in magazines such as Playboy and Omni.

Books of her own work have included "The Fantastic Art of Rowena", "Imagine" (in France), "Imagination" (in Germany), and "The Art of Rowena". She has also been included in many anthologies, such as, "Tomorrow and Beyond" and "Infinite Worlds". Morrill began her career in New York City where she lived for 16 years. She presently lives in upstate New York.

During the 2003 invasion of Iraq, two of her paintings were found displayed in one of Saddam Hussein's palaces.

Alleged plagiarism of Morrill's work

In 2003, a Flash animation slideshow titled [http://www.geocities.com/familyartcorner/ Family Art Corner] was released anonymously, alleging that a woman named Jan McRae had plagiarized the work of many artists, including Morrill, for reproduction in proselytization tracts printed by the Children of God cult. [ [http://www.xfamily.org/index.php/Plagiarized_art Plagiarized art] at xFamily.org] A Spanish version of the slideshow: [http://media.xfamily.org/docs/flash/family_art-spanish-part1.swf Part 1] , [http://media.xfamily.org/docs/flash/family_art-spanish-part2.swf Part 2] ] After the slideshow was released, Karen Zerby, leader of the Children of God acknowledged that McRae had copied the work of others, as did McRae herself, and McRae admitted wrongdoing.
