portrait of Leigh Morgan
I am primarily a sculptor who uses the buttresses, roots, forked limbs and butts of the now rare Australian Red Cedar and Rosewood trees I have scavenged or bought locally in the Bellinger valley or on the Dorrigo Plateau on the North Coast of New South Wales, Australia Recently I have also used Wallnut, Chessnut and Olive woods which are local to my Southern France base in Le Vigan whithin the Cevennes National Park.
I have an empathy with my favourite wood ~ Australian Red Cedar which to me has the best of qualities, it is truly beautiful, full of life and potential, soft and responsive yet strong and enduring.
Previously I was known for painting portraits, abstracts and landscapes, but I switched to sculpting after a summer school with sculptor Bert Fugleman in 1985.
I was trained by Melbourne artists Amby Dyson, Vic O'Conner and Noel Counihan - all friends of my late father Frank W Morgan, an established artist and recognised member of the George Bell School.
I live near Bellingen on the North Coast of NSW or in the South of France in the Cevennes National Park town of Le Vigan.

Leigh Morgan's sculptures are represented in collections in England, France, USA, Russia, Germany, Japan and in the Australian states of NSW, Qld, WA, SA & Tas.
The sculptures are currently on exhibition at the Intertwined Gallery near Bellingen at 96 Old Pacific Highway Raleigh NSW.
Some sculptures can also be purchased through the Saatchi Gallery, Chealsea London
