Whether painting the Native Americans in a dramatic, picturesque setting or the working cowboy peacefully on the range, Martin Grelle captures the spirit, beauty, and vastness of the West in his historically-accurate, compelling images. Grelle is proud of his Native American ancestry and studies diligently to portray their culture accurately and sensitively. The artist also has an intimate knowledge of the cowboy’s way of life; each year he enjoys the Cowboy Artists of America’s (CAA) trail ride and spends time occasionally working cattle with local friends. Grelle has the incredible ability to take the most mundane, daily tasks of his subjects and elevate them to a new level in each painting. |

Grelle was elected to the Cowboy Artists of America in 1995, and he is one of the youngest, active members. He won the CAA People’s Choice Award in 2002 with his painting, Monarchs of the North.* Also in 2002, Grelle’s painting, Teller of Tales, received the top award at the Prix de West Invitational at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum. In 2004 at the annual Prix de West Invitational, his painting, Signs Along the Snake, won the Nona Jean Hulsey Ramsey Buyer’s Choice Award for the Most Popular Work of Art and was chosen for inclusion in the museum’s permanent collection. 2005 also brought more acclaim with Two Coups capturing the Prix de West Purchase Award. In early 2007, his painting, Paradise Lost,* was chosen to appear in the silent bid portion of the Masters of the American West at the Autry National Center. |
