“Ethos Meets Reality”

Greta won the Minnesota Figure Study Collaborative Special Award for the most creative use of a figure in art at the 2022 Minnesota State Fair with her painting “Ethos Meets Reality”. We are delighted to have her exhibiting her works at The Gallery at Zeller Studio.

Working from her St Paul studio, Greta paints images inspired by her surroundings of her life in Minnesota as well as her travel experiences.

Greta trained as an illustrator and worked in commercial art for 15 years before following her heart into her true passion of painting in 2010. She began selling her work at art fairs and local galleries and shops, and occasionally doing commission work for hospitals, hotels, or private collectors. Greta balances the life of being an artist with being a wife and mom of three kids, both of which are challenging and highly fulfilling.

With a unique eye for color, Greta creates modern impressionistic paintings based on her life experiences.  In an increasingly hectic world, Greta beckons her viewers to pause and reflect on the beauty that is all around us that often goes unnoticed.  An evening drive home from work. A crow momentarily perched on a branch. The breeze blowing through the branches. Everyday scenes like these become inspirations for paintings. Her passion is to capture the mood and essence of what she sees through vibrant color and brilliant light.  Her paintings make ordinary subjects joyful and engaging.
