Morgan Bulkeley, Jr. was born in the Berkshires in 1944. He grew up on a rural farm here, in Mount Washington, surrounded by the many species of wild animals adopted by his family. Today, these childhood friends, along with the floundering souls of the modern human race, animate the paintings, sculptures, masks, and carved reliefs that Mr. Bulkeley has been exhibiting for nearly forty years.
In 2006, Mr. Bulkeley teamed up with his father, Morgan Bulkeley, Sr., on Berkshire Stories (Lindisfarne Books, 2004), a compilation of 120 of Bulkeley Sr.’s “Our Berkshires” columns that he contributed to the Berkshire Eagle over a period of twelve years in the sixties and seventies. Bulkeley Jr. provides the book’s illustrations and the cover art for this collection of historical vignettes.
Morgan Bulkeley, Jr. has served on the board of Bartholomew’s Cobble, a Trustees of Reservations property in Ashley Falls, Massachusetts. For years, he chaired the Mount Washington Arts Council. He has served on the town’s planning board for more than 20 years and he has a studio in Great Barrington. He also is a member of the board of Green Berkshires, Inc., an organization dedicated to protecting the mountains and environment of the Berkshires.
