K’era is a Los Angeles-based mixed media artist who continues to explore the art of abstraction in the form of collage and painting, oftentimes bringing the two together to create her delicately layered and dynamic pieces. She graduated from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago with a BFA in textile design.

In addition to her studio art practice, Morgan previously collaborated with artisans in the U.S, Mexico and UK to transform her multi-media artwork into woven, knitted and printed homewares under the brand name k-apostrophe. Her textile collections generated attention within the design world resulting in various accolades including a cover piece in Dwell Magazine's Annual Emerging Designers Issue.

In late 2024, after a period of deep introspection, Morgan made the decision to pivot from her homewares and textile production to refocus on her fine art practice. Exciting ideas and mediums new to her practice (like functional art objects) are on the horizon for Morgan, but we can expect to see her love for and experience with textiles re-emerge in this new chapter.

Morgan’s paintings have been featured in a variety of group exhibitions within the U.S and, in addition to her textile homewares range, can be found in private residences and art collections across the globe.

History

Founded in 2017, k-apostrophe is the studio founded by artist and textile designer K’era Morgan. Located in Los Angeles, the brand grew from an initial collection of eight woven throw blankets derived from an archive of Morgan’s original paintings, into a thriving creative and textiles business that sold woven home textile goods in boutiques across North America and Europe - including West Elm, Bloomingdales and stores like Le Bone Marche in Paris. In 2024, Morgan made the decision to step away from her textiles business to return her full attention to her studio art practice roots.

Currently, Morgan continues to explore a range of mediums, and plans to incorporate textile-based works into her studio routine, with an emphasis on collectible designs. These textiles, along with her traditional paintings, and unique objets d'art, highlight her evolving artistic journey. Morgan is also venturing into the creation of functional design objects that blend her interests in decorative arts, design, and fine art, further expanding her creative scope through collaborations and commissions.
