about
Morgan Bukovec (b. 1996) is a mixed media artist, community organizer, and collector of things from Cleveland, Ohio. In 2018, she was awarded bachelors degrees in both Fine Arts and Arts Education from the University of Dayton and since has worked with several community art spaces in Ohio including: moCa Cleveland, Spaces, Community Arts Center, Kaiser Gallery, Headspace Gallery, The Dallas, and The Kiln Room providing art engagement and workshops.
Bukovec is interested in how art builds empathy through personal storytelling, which inspires her interdisciplinary art practice.
Bukovec works with found objects across mediums including collage, textiles, installation, and ceramics, focusing on the themes of identity, storytelling, and fleeting moments and objects across time.
Bukovec was recently awarded a Solo Exhibition opening February 2025 at Index Gallery in Dayton, Ohio and two Artist Gift Grants from the GCAC.
She is best known for her “are you on the menu” series, which has been awarded multiple exhibition opportunities, speaking engagements, a gift grant by the Kanyer Art Collection, and has been featured in national publications such as Teen Vogue. The power of this work led to a recent art commission by Meta Platforms, Inc.
She currently resides in Lancaster, Ohio, building community online and in-person through her free art community: Lava Lamp Lounge, which offers space for creatives to connect and support each other.
You can find Morgan putting hours in her ceramic studio at The Kiln Room, working on her upcoming solo show exhibitions about reproductive rights, womens health, and identity.
