A native of San Francisco, Morgan was the second of seven children; her mother's parents, Thomas Wolfe Morgan (1839-1903) and Cristina Agnes Ross (1847-1922), had emigrated to California from Scotland in the 1850s. She grew up in Oakland, where her father was city engineer for some years.[2][3] Her brother, architect Thomas W. Morgan, came to Carmel in 1920 to join his sister. Thomas Morgan was a resident of Carmel-by-the-Sea for 20 years working on architectural designs for homes and buildings.[4]
At age eighteen, she entered the San Francisco Art Institute's California School of Design (CSD),[5] where she studied with Virgil Macey Williams, painter and director at CSD. She took some instruction with William Keith, a family friend, of whom she has been called a favorite pupil.[6][2]
