Morley or Big Mo as he is referred to, works in a variety of mediums; pencil and charcoal, acrylic and oil, film and digital, clay, paper, wire cardboard and Styrofoam. Skilled with his hands, Morley's talents were discovered by his primary school art teacher, Mr. Springer and further developed under Mr. Charles Farrow and Dave Pickersgill, as he passed through secondary and high schools.

As a teenager, Morley developed an interest in photography and worked at the local camera studio - Ernie's Studio - on the Island of Grand Bahama, where he was raised.
