Martin Grelle tells stories of the Native Americans through his canvases.
 With their camp in the distance, these braves stand sentinel on their horses.  The people of the tribe
know they are safe with these ever-observant guardians scanning the landscape and ready
to warn should intruders be near.

 

Whether painting the Native Americans in a dramatic, picturesque setting, or the American cowboy
in the dusty cattle-working pens, Martin Grelle captures the spirit, beauty, and vastness of the West
in his historically-accurate, compelling images. Grelle studies diligently to portray the diverse cultures
of the American West accurately and with sensitivity. His knowledge of the cowboy’s way of life,
gained from his time spent horseback on ranches during the annual Cowboy Artists of America’s
(CAA) trail ride, as well as the time spent with local ranchers and friends, is evident in his
contemporary cowboy paintings. The many hours spent in museums, at historical re-
enactments, in visiting with experts on Native American culture, and reading from his
extensive library, have helped him to bring his vision of the Plains Indian
culture to life on canvas.

 

 

 

MARTIN GRELLE - Born 1954, Clifton, Texas, USA.
Born & raised in Clifton, Texas, Martin Grelle and his wife, Joyce, still
live on a small ranch a few miles from town. His studio sits in the picturesque Meridian
Creek Valley, surrounded by the oak & cedar-covered hills of Bosque County, just a
short distance from his home, but also within a few miles of the family & friends
who are so important in his life.

Grelle says humbly,“I thank God for the ability and the opportunities He has given me,
and I hope I can continue to grow and learn more with each finished painting. I am honored
by everyone who collects my work, and I will always strive to create artwork worthy of their attention
and their investment.”
