Art is a meditation.

Informed by a life lived at the foot of the Rocky Mountains, Marty Gregg’s work reflects place and warmth via a sense of deep humanity and palpable light. 

With an innate drive to create, Marty allows the organic creation process to inform his final pieces. His work is never rushed, and bares the marks of a deft hand. 

Marty finds inspiration in the company of other artists and their work, often gathering to create, discuss, and encourage his peers. Marty's other creative endeavors include playing the piano, appreciating architecture, traveling, and journaling. 

Marty learned the art of visual storytelling through his parents. His father was a scientist who could explain anything with a simple drawing. His mother was a painter that could make any subject beautiful. 

This combination of learned skills informed Marty’s professional background. He pursued a graphic design education, and found a unique specialization in experiential design and placemaking—the process of crafting livable, desirable public spaces through design. 

Marty founded the award-winning design firm ArtHouse Design. He is a regular speaker at his alma mater, Colorado State University, spreading the gospel of placemaking and experiential design to students.
