About Morgan Gibbs

Local artist Morgan Gibbs was born in Rathfarnham, Dublin in 1971.

From an early age Morgan showed a flair for pencil drawing, spending many hours recreating his favourite comic book characters. This interest continued throughout his school years, and while he decided not to pursue a course in Art College, he passionately continued his artwork as a hobby in his spare time.

Completely self-taught the quality of his highly finished pencil works soon lead to numerous commissions all through word of mouth. With the commitments of work and travel, Morgan took an unplanned break from art for more than six years. On his return to drawing in 2007 he found the ability and passion was still there, and in 2008 he took up oil painting for the first time and hasn’t looked back.

During his creative journey, Morgan has worked with some of Irelands top artists such as Brian McCarthy, P.J. Lynch and Conor Walton,  receiving valuable insights, advice & direction in the craft of oil painting. One of Morgan’s passions and subsequent inspirations for his paintings comes from his love of wildlife. He has been lucky enough to have visited and photographed all seven continents and has seen all of his subjects in their natural habitats, which gives him a unique insight and allows him to capture this in his paintings.

Over the past number of years Morgan has exhibited his paintings throughout Ireland and his works can be found in private collections nationwide, Europe and the United States.

In 2013 Morgan established The Eden Art Studio, located in Rathfarnham where he
welcomes over 70 students every week to daily art classes and full day art workshops.
