Greg Sharp is the Artist of the Month


Greg began his artistic path at the age of seven. His early work revolved around life drawings and the still life, but he has moved over to abstract modern styles. His emphasis on colors and subtle differences in texture has produced multiple series that have led him on an almost obsessive pursuit in color discovery.  His work is spurred on by the challenge to create positive feelings in color and form.  He is inspired by many great modernists and impressionists such as Van Gogh, Pissarro, Sisley and their contemporaries.

“Art can give a much needed escape from a certain reality.  At times it has brought me great comfort.  Art is a reality in itself.”

Greg is a founding member of Studio-In-Sight (celebrating our 5th anniversary this month!).  Please take a few moments to appreciate a small sample of his array of artistic talents in the St. Luke’s House, Bethesda office.  Once you’re had a chance to check out his work, please take a second to write down a comment for him.  The comment book is at the front office window.

Thank you,

Eric Gordon
