Greg Creason Limited Editions

Artists

Born and raised in Flint, Michigan, Greg discovered that he had a talent for art at age 11. He would put on his headphones and draw for hours each day and accredits Norman Rockwell as one of his inspirations. He would often duplicate his works as a young boy. 

Greg’s mother and father were very supportive of his skill for illustration, encouraging him to pursue a career in art. After high school, Greg attended Kendall College of Art & Design of Ferris State University in Grand Rapids, Michigan and earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Illustration in 1990.

In 1992, Greg moved to San Jose, California and eventually made his home in Monterey, California for twenty years, having owned and operated a small gallery on Cannery Row. During that time, he became the first apprentice of world-renowned artist Thomas Kinkade. He worked for Kinkade’s Media Arts Group for twelve years before taking a sabbatical from the art world for over five years.

Greg moved from Monterey, California to New Orleans, Louisiana in 2009 where he garnered tremendous inspiration from the lifestyle there and opened his flagship gallery there, exclusively selling his own work.

In August of 2020, he opened a second gallery in Carmel-by-the-Sea, Calfornia fulfilling a dream of having a gallery in California. Then in June of 2021, he opened his third gallery in Naples, Florida.

Greg’s artwork is displayed in many homes and businesses throughout the world. In 2018, he was commissioned by the Dauphine Orleans Hotel to create seven pieces of artwork for their newly renovated bar and dining room. He has commissioned pieces in several hotels and restaurants and furnished the American Cruise Lines Mississippi River ships with artwork and sculptures. He is currently working on furnishing their ninth ship which launched in April 2023.

Greg continues his artistic journey with enthusiasm and passion, which is clearly present in each and every piece he creates.
