Born in 1960, Greg Giordano has been painting animals all his life. He attended the School of Visual Arts in New York City. As a boy, he spent many hours at the Museum of Natural History drawing and sketching the animals and dioramas. An award-winning artist, Giordano combines a passion for animals and birds with an exceptional eye and technique that effectively combines realism with abstract design. He enjoys spending much of his time in the outdoors and takes yearly painting trips throughout North America to study the diverse subject matter found in his current work.
Greg resides in Ridgefield, CT. with his wife Joyce and daughter Jessica. His property is home to deer, fox, coyote, turkey, beaver and many different species of birds. Local farms provide inspiration for his horse paintings.
"I am always trying to do something new, to find a new way of approaching the ordinary," Greg says. "When somebody purchases a painting, they've had an emotional response to my art. People tell me that my paintings capture the spirit of the wild-something that has been lost in today's hectic world. In my work, I try to capture the majesty of nature and provoke an emotional response from the viewer; that's really one of the most powerful things art can achieve".
