Morten Rown

Morton Rown (Spokane was an American-Lovian artist. Born in Spokane, Washington, his family emigrated to Kinley in 1906 when he was eleven years old. His father Henry Rown was a builder by profession and Rown was able to assist his father in painting murals for some of the richer families that employed them. One such family was that of the Flints, and the then governor Oliver Flint was so impressed by the teenager's talent he offered to employ him part-time in the Seven government, painting pictures of typical scenes of Seven life, and occasional portraits.

In 1929, depression struck, and there was no longer employment available for artists. Rown emigrated to Australia, but was unable to find any work other than painting lines on public roads.
