Morgan’s university education in architectural engineering and industrial design initially led to a position as an aerospace technical illustrator where he also began to develop his artistic realism style of painting. Later, his professional career allowed him the opportunity to experience the scenic beauty of the southwestern U.S., to further develop his interest in art and continue his rather unique drawing and painting style.
Today Morgan’s preferred mediums include pencil, pen and ink, watercolor and acrylics. His subject matter is primarily centered on ranch life, hill country communities and coastal scenery, and his art has been collected by patrons throughout the southwest and western U.S. He has held leadership positions in several artistic associations and in addition to HCCArts, Morgan is currently an active member of the Boerne Art League and Boerne Professional Artists.
