Cameron Morgan

Cameron Morgan is a multi-talented and prolific artist working with Project Ability as part of the Aspire programme, since 1991. In 2010 Project Ability applied for Creative Scotland funding on behalf of Morgan for the Generation show Cameron’s Way: Coast to Coast. The success of this exhibition firmly established Morgan’s standing as a contemporary artist. In 2016 Morgan was awarded an Unlimited commission which enabled him to make two new bodies of work; TV Classics Part 1 and Put your sweet lips closer to the phone. 2016 also saw Cameron awarded a lifetime fellowship to the RSA, with work exhibited at several different venues, exhibitions and festivals around the U.K. 

Most recently Morgan has been fulfilling a research and development grant from Creative Scotland. This entails working in collaborative residency projects with other professional artists. He has also been attending conferences and events as a portrait artist, drawing and painting live portraits of the public. Alongside the more specific art projects, Morgan continues to maintain a prolific studio practice at Project Ability, working on commissions in ceramics and painting for exhibitions.
