A fine artist and illustrator from Adelaide, Ross Morgan completed a Bachelor of Visual Arts at the University of South Australia in 2000. Since then he has been exhibiting in numerous solo and group exhibitions, art prizes and running an independent studio practice. From an early age growing up in the mid–north of South Australia, Ross enjoyed exploring the rural environment filled with creatures, abandoned structures, machinery and objects of yesteryear. He also practised drawing, painting, and arts and crafts projects encouraged by his mother. These experiences have been key in establishing his life-long interest in drawing and painting. In 2018 he won the Raising Literacy Australia’s Emerging Author and Illustrator Mentoring Project. Through this initiative he completed his first illustrated book Molly Moores has a House Like Yours written by Kaliah Tsakalidis and published by Little Book Press in 2020.Currently Ross is working on a number of new picture book projects as both illustrator and author
