Who We Are

Gork Studios is owned by John (JR) and Martha Gork.  Our work is inspired by beauty, nature, and iconic locations.  We have combined our artistic and creative passions to bring you fine art paintings and well-crafted bags and accessories.  

As an artist for over 40 years, JR has worked in ceramics, pencil, oils, acrylics, and watercolor. He gravitates toward acrylics for his current work.  JR has completed a series of paintings of Grand Haven buildings and another series of paintings of iconic scenes from Saugatuck.  He also enjoys painting scenes that reflect the charm and beauty of Michigan’s West Coast.  

Martha spent time making counted cross stitch, needlepoint, and knitted items before finding her passion in sewing.  She was inspired to have fabric printed from John's artwork, and she uses the fabric to create bags, sunglass holders, and other accessories.

We enjoy combining our talents to create unique and functional artwork.
