About Us
Glitch Atelier is the collaborative studio of Marty Canniff, artist, and Morgan Canniff, interior designer. We create conceptual, limited-edition art that explores concepts while embracing chance—those small shifts when structure loosens and a new idea emerges.
Our work starts with an idea, then unfolds through a dialogue: between the two of us, and between the artist and the emerging image - an exchange that often opens paths we couldn't have planned.
Marty — Artist
Marty's approach is rooted in the kind of honest making he grew up around. His father—an ironworker who loved science and space—built things with visible process: pencil lines left in place, measurements still readable, and a working philosophy that valued function above refinement. That raw clarity shaped Marty's value of the act of making, which informs and reveals itself in the work.
Artistically, he draws influence from Cy Twombly, Agnes Martin, and Francis Bacon, among others—artists who reveal emotion through structure, gesture, and distortion. Marty works through conversation with the image: allowing ideas to bend, and unexpected moments to guide the direction. His pieces seek the point where control gives way to something more alive.
Morgan — Interior Designer
Morgan brings the spatial and emotional perspective of an interior designer, along with ideas, creative direction, and genuine collaboration in the creation process, to inform and shape collections and images.
She considers how art impacts environments—how it anchors a room, shapes mood, and interacts with light and scale.
Our Process
We think of a glitch as the moment something shifts—an unintended outcome, a change in direction, a truth that suddenly becomes visible. Sometimes it's cultural, sometimes it's personal, or simply the image takes an unexpected turn.
Those deviations guide and inspire us. They give the work its energy and honesty. Our process stays open and flexible, shaped by conversation, experimentation, and disruptions that lead each piece somewhere new.
What We Make
- Museum-quality archival pigment prints
- Large format, editioned at 250

Each print is conceived and crafted to carry presence—visually, emotionally, and materially.
Studio Intent
We're drawn to the tension between refinement and rupture, clarity and distortion, stillness and strangeness. Our work invites viewers to pause, look again, and find meaning in the subtle shifts that sit between intention and accident.
