Gregory Kolsto
Gregory has been dabbling with artistic endeavors since he was old enough to hold a pencil. Instead of pursuing a traditional career in the arts, he abandoned an obvious track of study and fell into a 25-year long career in the coffee business. All along, the vocation of a working artist followed him, whispering, "stop running." He hasn't stopped running, and the vocation seems to have caught up with him, all the same. Underscoring the hundreds of paintings, drawings and prints created over decades are two solo painting exhibitions and a handful of group shows. A book of art is available through his day job at Oddly Correct coffee company in Kansas City, Missouri.
