About

Morgan Bench is a passionate artist and environmentalist. Growing up exploring the diverse ecosystems of the Chesapeake Bay region was the foundation of Morgan’s deep relationship with the natural world and inspired them to spend their life exploring our collective relationship to nature through their art.

Morgan holds a B.A. from Washington College in Chestertown, MD, where they double majored in Studio Art and Environmental Studies. They typically work in traditional mediums like printmaking, painting, and illustration, but also explore more contemporary practices such as sculpture and installation. At Washington College, Morgan was awarded the Lynette Nielsen Professional Practice Award which is given to the graduating senior who demonstrates the most engaged, dedicated, and consistent creative practice throughout their studies.
