Greg Scheibel has always felt a strong connection with the outdoors. Throughout his life he
has spent a great deal of time outside, fishing, hunting and hiking, which has led to an intimate
knowledge of the landscapes he now chooses to paint. He has loved to draw for as long as he
can remember, and believes good drawing is a prerequisite to good painting, regardless of
technique or subject matter. Greg has dedicated himself to becoming a better artist, through
continual study, a strong work ethic, and a genuine passion for what he is doing. He feels
fortunate to have received advice and instruction from a number of exceptional artists in recent
years, with the most important lesson being the value of painting from life.
Greg was a drywall contractor for many years, always with a dream of someday taking his passion for art to the next level. Years of drawing, pouring over art books, collecting and studying paintings of artists he admired, and a general accumulation of
life's experiences contribute to what he puts into his paintings. Although still relatively new to the professional art world, he began selling his work in 2005 and became a fulltime artist in 2007, he shows his work in some of the West's finest Galleries and has been invited or juried into a number of prestigious shows. He has received several awards for his work, including Awards of Excellence from the Oil Painters of America and Scholarships from the Scottsdale Artists School. He has also been featured as an 'Artist to Watch' in Southwest Art Magazine. He is truly excited about his new career as a painter, and is looking forward to spending his life working to improve his ability as an artist. Greg lives in Bozeman, Montana with his wife and two children..
