Paul Morris started his career as a designer and commercial illustrator, before moving into television for a period in the late eighties. A love of corporate branding saw freelance become his major interests through the nineties and still remains a strong focus, apart from other more recent design explorations. These recent interests include, involvement with the May Gibbs Children’s Literature Trust, and as Vice president of the Dromkeen Society (Children’s Literature Art Museum) a focus on the art of Children’s picture book illustration.
His most recent research aims to deliver reading material to visually impaired children in a more inclusive manner, at the same time as targeting the non-professional carer or parent of the child in a confidence building and supportive approach. Paul lectures in Graphic Design and Illustration at La Trobe University’s Bendigo campus. he has lived in the Bendigo area for the past 20 years.
