Greg Creason

Greg Creason was born and raised in Flint, MI. At age 11, he discovered that he had a talent for identifying and recreating images when he drew an exact replica of a cartoon from a newspaper using colored pencils. Greg would put on his headphones and draw for hours each day. He accredits Norman Rockwell as one of his inspirations as he would often recreate his works as a young boy.
Greg’s mother and father were both very supportive of his skill for illustration and encouraged him to pursue a career in the arts. After high school, Greg attended Kendell College of Art & Design, located in Grand Rapids, and earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in illustration in 1990.
In 1992, Greg moved San Jose, California, eventually making his home in Monterey for twenty years, where he owned a small gallery on Cannery Row. During that time, he became the first apprentice of world-renowned artist Thomas Kincade. He worked for Kinkade’s Media Arts Group for 12 years before taking a sabbatical from the artworld for over 5 years.
Greg moved from Monterey to New Orleans, LA in 2009 and found tremendous inspiration in the lifestyle of the city. The gallery he opened in the French Quarter at that time is his flagship gallery from which his current series of work was born. Greg’s artwork can be found in private collections and businesses all over the world. His commissioned works can be viewed in hotels and restaurants such as the Dauphine Orleans Hotel that boasts seven pieces. The American Cruise Lines (Mississippi River ships) showcases artwork as well as sculpture by Greg. He is currently working on
furnishing their 9 th ship which will launch in April of 2023.
Greg continues his artistic journey with enthusiasm and passion, which is clearly present in each piece he creates.
Masters Gallery is proud to solely represent Greg Creason in Colorado.
