About

Gregory “Greg” Olson is a multidisciplinary creative working across visual art, music, and literature. His work explores the intersections of memory, imagination, place, and time—often through what is partial, implied, or just out of reach. Shadows, silhouettes, and reflections recur as visual motifs: edges instead of certainties, presence suggested rather than declared.

In the studio, Greg experiments widely with style and material. His visual work moves between abstraction and representation—ranging from abstract expressionist explorations of gesture, texture, and color to landscapes and narrative scenes that are more observational. Rather than staying in a single lane, he follows the problem each piece presents: what the subject demands, what the medium allows, and what the moment is trying to say.

Greg also experiences sound in color. Certain chords, textures, and rhythms arrive with a hue or temperature, and that cross-sensory link subtly shapes both his compositions and his palette—an ongoing conversation between what he hears and what he sees. Across painting, song, and prose, he returns to the same questions: What stays with us? What fades? What changes when a moment is revisited—through paint, a melody, or a line of text?

When he’s not creating, he can be found wandering, engaging with others, talking with his dog Norbert, or listening to the ocean—collecting fragments of conversation, light, and rhythm that later find their way into the work.
