Morgan Bukovec (b. 1996) is a mixed media artist, educator, 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 Cleveland including moCa Cleveland, Spaces, Community Arts Center, Kaiser Gallery and Headspace Gallery, providing art engagement and workshops. Bukovec is interested in how art builds empathy through storytelling, which inspires her interdisciplinary art practice.
Bukovec works with found objects across mediums including collage, textiles, and installation, focusing on the themes of identity, storytelling, and fleeting moments and objects across time. Recent invitational exhibitions include; solo exhibition, SERVICE INDUSTRY STITCH PROJECT, today’s special: misogyny with a slice of sexism at Kaiser Gallery in Cleveland, Ohio, two-person exhibition, Taking Up Space at Malone Art Gallery in Canton, Ohio, and Women’s Work: New Takes On Textile Art at Reeves House in Woodstock, Georgia.
Bukovec was recently awarded a gift grant by the Kanyer Art Collection to complete her 100 work series: SERVICE INDUSTRY STITCH PROJECT (@serviceindustrystitchproject). This series is the result of the past decade of her work in the service industry, aiming to highlight the power of words and personal reclamation. She recently moved back to Ohio from Prague, Czech Republic where she spent time teaching, exploring, and making art. She plans to further expand her creative endeavors, while planning for her next travel adventure.
