Artist-of-all-trades Leah Morgan has cultivated a haven for creative expression where all are welcome. Her invitation to the community: try something new or revisit a pastime; use the space as need or inspiration dictates.

Morgan lives in Little Egg Harbor and opened her studio-workshop, Leah Morgan Art Works, a few months before the pandemic began. When she reopened in the fall of 2020, she said parents were relieved to find ways to supplement virtual schooling, without the usual extracurricular activities available.

With two of her own art-loving daughters, ages 10 and 7, Morgan knows how to nourish a kid’s imagination.
