Greely Myatt was born and educated in Mississippi. He currently lives and works in Memphis, Tennessee, where he is Professor of Art at The University of Memphis. His sculptures and installations have been exhibited in numerous solo and group exhibitions across the United States, Europe and Japan.

"To state my approach to the making of art in the simplest and most direct manner, I have tried to use these -- the hand, the eye, the heart and the mind -- to guide my work in both the making and the viewing." - Greely Myatt

Currently Greely is completing a public sculpture for the City of Memphis through the UrbanArt Commission.  The "Quilt" pieces will be located at the corner of Front St. and Adams Ave. which begins installation at the end of May.
