Morrill received a BA from the University of Delaware in 1971 and then studied at the Tyler School of Arts.[1] in Philadelphia. After dropping out of the Tyler program, she worked for an advertising agency in New York City. After showing her portfolio to Charles Volpe at Ace Books, she was commissioned by Vlope to illustrate a romance cover.[1] Morrill's first design for a horror novel was Jane Parkhurst's Isobel (1977).Morrill continued to work in horror, producing cover art for H. P. Lovecraft collections before turning her attention to science fiction and fantasy. To create these illustrations, Morrill uses oil on illustration board, coating the image with a high-gloss glaze and thin coats of paint.Morrill has created several covers for books by such authors as Anne McCaffrey, Isaac Asimov, Samuel R. Delany, Piers Anthony and Madeleine L'Engle. As well, her paintings have appeared on hundreds of calendars, portfolios and in magazines such as Playboy, Heavy Metal, Omni, Art Scene International, and Print Magazine.She has been nominated for the Hugo Award five times, four times in the Best Artist category. In 1984, she received the British Fantasy Award. She was named Artist Guest of Honor for Chicon 7, the 70th World Science Fiction Convention, held in 2012.Following the fall of Saddam Hussein in Iraq, Morrill's paintings King Dragon and Shadows Out of Hell were discovered hanging in one of his houses.She is credited under multiple names, including Rowena, Rowena Morrill, and Rowina Morril.
