Drink Up, with Michelle Obama at The New Museum, 2014
BIO
Using one of the world’s largest collections of vintage paint-by-number paintings, artist Trey Speegle uses humor, affirmations and word play that resonate with a broad, pop appeal.
Speegle has collaborated with Stella McCartney, Squarespace, Anthropologie Home, Armorlux, Fred Perry, PAOM, Jonathan Adler and Fringe Studios. In 2014, he created a mural in collaboration with Wah Tah! & Michelle Obama’s Partnership for a Healthy America.
In 2016 Regan Arts released Trey’s book Transform Your Life with Color By Number. In 2021 & 2024 Speegle published 2 volumes of his photographs, Trey Speegle: 80s Polaroids & More 80s Polaroids.
His Speegle Studio, The RePOP Shop & Gallery 52 are housed in a former gas station in Jeffersonville, New York in the Catskill Mountains. He divides his time between upstate New York and Merida, Mexico where he has a second home, Casa Cisterna, studio, artist residency & Galeria 25.
