Morris Jones began his art career as a graffiti artist using the walls of Philadelphia as his canvas. After receiving his BFA from Philadelphia College of Art (now University of the Arts) in 1983, he expanded his artistry through an apprenticeship for the Johnson Atelier Technical Institute of Sculpture. At the Atelier, Morris specialized in mold making and wax casting. Additionally, he creates murals and teaches workshops for schools and community centers throughout Philadelphia. Morris uses art as a catalyst to inspire these communities around ways to expand possibilities and access for young people and families in their communities.
