2020 Artist of Excellence Martin Grelle Martin Grelle and his wife Joyce still live on a small ranch just a few miles from the town where he was born and raised Clifton, Texas. He began drawing and painting when he was very young and was fortunate to have James Boren and Melvin Warren, members of the prestigious Cowboy Artists of America, move to the area when he was still in high school. Mentored by Boren and having access to Warren’s originals, he had his first one-man show within a year of graduating from high school. In the 44 years since, he has produced more than 30 one-man exhibitions and won many awards of national importance. Grelle became a member of the Cowboy Artists of America in 1995, fulfilling a dream that began in the early 1970’s. That same year he was also invited to participate in his first Prix de West Invitational. He has since won the Prix de West Purchase Award twice (one of only seven artists to do so). Martin feels a real sense of responsibility to his collectors, which fills his heart every time he walks into the studio. He believes what he does is a gift entrusted to him from God and must not be left unused or taken for granted but developed and improved upon. Martin will be presented with the Booth Museum Artist of Excellence Award on February 22, 2020.
