Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God's grace in its various forms.

This website serves a dual purpose: to share the hope of the gospel and to showcase my work as an illustrator. Here you’ll find a portfolio that highlights a variety of styles and mediums, reflecting both my creative journey and the message I am called to share. Whether you are here to explore the artwork or to be encouraged by the truth of God’s Word, my prayer is that both will inspire and uplift you.
Nigel Morgan is an artist, illustrator, and art teacher with extensive studio drawing and painting experience with watercolor, acrylics, ink, and charcoal.
Art, in one form or another, has been part of Nigel Morgan’s life since the age of five. His earliest art inspirations were the few, but impactful illustrations in the Encyclopedia Britannica. Although most of the images were black and white at that time, the colored sections, especially those that depicted wildlife, were captivating. As a young novice developing his craft, Trinidadian artist David Moore also inspired Nigel. Moore’s mindfulness in depicting the old ways of Caribbean life were unlike anything Nigel had seen. Soon, he began to follow the works of Norman Rockwell, Thomas Kinkade, Vincent Van Gogh, and William Steig.
As a Communication Design & Illustration major at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, NY, Nigel aspired to become a wildlife illustrator, but teaching began to weave its way into his life, as he was often approached by onlookers while painting in the parks, cafés, and hang-out places throughout Brooklyn. The questions, “Do you teach art? Do you teach kids?” were often asked of him, and it was in the main seating area of the Brooklyn Public Library’s Central Branch that the opportunity to teach youth, adults and older adults was presented to him.
Teaching art is something that Nigel has grown increasingly enthusiastic about. Grateful for the influence and wisdom imparted by the many instructors in his life, Nigel sees it as a privilege to give back to the community in which he lives and was educated. One of his goals is to have an art studio that promising artists of all ages can come to for lessons and an opportunity to highlight their work.
