Biographical

Greg Wallace is a long-time professional visual artist and representational painter. He grew up in Madison, Wisconsin, the son of an artist and teacher. A number of art awards at a young age nurtured an interest and confidence in the arts. His adult art training was also received there at the University of Wisconsin from 1974 -78, where he majored in art and art education. It was a time spent developing a strong foundation in classical drawing and painting skills. Soon after, a move in 1979 to Arizona fueled an interest in studio landscape painting, which eventually sparked an interest and dedication to painting on location ‘en plein air’. A longtime resident of Tucson, Arizona, he has had continuous gallery representation throughout, participating in many gallery and invitational art events across the country. Wallace currently works out of his rural desert studio adjacent to Saguaro National Park West. His unique oil and watercolor paintings are included in corporate and private collections throughout the United States.
