Petrona Morrison (b. 1954, Manchester, Jamaica) is a multi-media artist whose work engages deeply personal and 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.

A native of Manchester, Jamaica, Morrison was sketching from the time she was a child.[3] She began training as an artist at McMaster University in Canada, graduating in 1976. In the mid-1980s she studied for her MFA at Howard University in Washington, DC, during which time she spent a year in Kenya. She divided her time between the United States and Jamaica before returning home for good in 1995; she continues to travel for residencies.[4] She has taught at the Edna Manley College of the Visual and Performing Arts since 1988.

She was artist-in-residence at the Studio Museum in Harlem. Her work may be seen in the collection of the National Gallery of Jamaica. She was awarded the Gold Musgrave Medal in 2014.[6] In 2017 Morrison exhibited work in the Jamaica Biennial.
