Greg Katz is the host and muse of the Artist Success Studio. After countless encounters with artists he set out to change “Successful Artist” from an oxymoron to a declarative statement. His belief in the success of artists and his perseverance has proven to be motivating and serves as a model for artists to march toward their own success.

The arts have always been a part of Greg’s life. His first musical expression was at the age of nine standing on milk crates to play the bass fiddle. He continued to dabble in music until after college when he went from focusing on auditory delights and awakened the tactile giant.

Since 1992 Greg has worked in fiber as his method of self-expression. Three years ago he made the shift from “quilter” to “artist” and he’s tackled the artist journey with flair and creativity.

His life is full of color both literally and figuratively. He is continuously encountering new shades, new tones and new values that shape his professional palette. In a quilt, each piece of fabric is an integral part of the larger piece; in life, we each bring a unique, beautiful texture to the pattern of community, representing our strengths, desires and goals.

Greg has spent the past five years coaching artists and helping them experience their business as another work of art. He has enabled artists to create a personal space where success is the only outcome. He’s masterful at emphasizing the artist’s strengths and transforming their challenges to creative nuance.
