Artist Statement

George Grey is a mixed-media artist working with india inks, marker, watercolor, colored pencil, and graphite – among other mediums.  George is an abstract artist, exploring the mediums independent of a defined reference image and seeming to be motivated by the movement of the medium on the surface itself.  He is very intentional about his colors and takes time considering when and how to use each color and medium on a piece.  George works closely with Canvas staff to discuss and plan each step in his piece and is thoughtful about what outcomes he is working toward.  Each finished work is a reflection of this process.

George has worked in the Canvas Studio for over four years.  He has shown his work at the Alaska State Museum and the Canvas Gallery.  This show is his first solo exhibition and is a compilation of works completed over the past two years.
