Collection: Kelsey, Greg

A self-taught artist, Greg Kelsey was raised in Texas and Oklahoma and resides in Ignacio, Colorado. Kelsey is a member of the National Sculpture Society and the C.M. Russell Museum’s Skull Society of Artists.

An honest look at Kelsey’s sculpture reveals his intensity for both form and subject. No matter what he is portraying, he believes that form is the most significant thing about a sculpture. Inspired to melding sculptural form with powerful visions of Western history and modern-day cowboy living, Kelsey feels strongly that the story of Western life is worth telling in an authentic way.

Kelsey has been honored with numerous awards, including the Briscoe Western Art Museum’s Night of Artists 2015 Purchase Award; the 2015 Cyrus Dallin Award for Best Sculpture at the Eiteljorg Museum of American Indians and Western Art’s Quest for the West in Indianapolis; and the 2007 People’s Choice Award at The Russell at the C.M. Russell Museum in Great Falls, Montana. Museums that hold Kelsey’s work in their permanent collections include the Briscoe Western Art Museum, the Eiteljorg Museum of American Indians and Western Art, and the C.M. Russell Museum.

Kelsey is represented by Settlers West Gallery in Tucson; Sorrel Sky Gallery in Durango, Colorado, and Santa Fe; Broadmoor Galleries in Colorado Springs; and Montana Trails Gallery in Bozeman.
