I can get lost in my art work, as I add layers of color and texture. That gives depth and life to my art. I’ve worked in photography, ceramics, oil painting, watercolor painting, copper smith, feather jewelry and colored pencil.
John Gregg was born in Yuma: Arizona in 1957.
John is the second generation raised in Arizona. The major influence behind his art was his mother, Corrine Mathiesen Gregg, who was a prolific artist.
In 1998 John opened John Gregg Photography at www.johngregg.com . Using his photography of back country of Arizona, Utah, Nevada, Colorado, New Mexico and the Sierra Nevada mountains of California
2008 John began Ceramics by John Gregg and also was part owner of Clay Arts Vegas in Las Vegas, NV.
In 2014 John’s back would not let him lift clay anymore.
John found new art medium, oil painting. He found painting very tactile, building layers of depth and color. John uses his large photographic library as references for his paintings and he tries to tell a story in his paintings.
2016 John opened John Gregg Studio’s which includes Photography, Ceramics and Paintings. John’s work has recently been displayed at Las Vegas Artist Guild Gallery, City of the World Gallery and Gallery To Go.
2022 John found the close work in his painting was getting difficult. He used some copper, from embellishing his ceramic and some house hold chemicals to create Copper Bookmarks with Patinated Feathers. Copper patinas can be deep purple, dark blue and into turquoise.
2024 John started putting feathers together to make feather Ear Cuffs, Earring and Hair Clips.
