He is also the subject of a BRAVO TV Documentary: "A New Arcadia: The Art of Gregg Simpson". The artist has received numerous grants and awards and is represented in both museum and private collections across Canada, Asia and Europe.

Nicole Donnely, a curator in Mexico City, wrote that “Simpson’s paintings flux between the solid, rooted world and the ethereal.”

geometry and the breeze, the palpable and the impalpable, the visible and the invisible.”
