Greg studied painting at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. In 1993, his passion for woodcarving was borne by chance after receiving a birthday gift of knives and chisels. The month was December, so Greg's first carving was naturally of Santa. This was the very beginning that led him down the path of inspiration that created his folk art collection.
Greg loves pulling characters out of the wood and bringing them to life with paint in great detail. His favorite subject matter to work with are the whimsical characters of the holidays. All of Greg's original carvings are carved from either linden or basswood.
We are so proud to bring you Greg's line of authorized reproductions! Enjoy these wonderful characters.
