Greg Olsen

Greg Olsen illuminates the soul and spirit of his subjects and uplifts the hearts and minds of its viewers. Olsen's diverse interests are deftly demonstrated in oil paintings that range from the realistic and historical to the whimsical. His luminous, delicate portraits capture not only his subject's likeness, but their spirit as well. Landscapes of scenes from America and the world reflect the perfect beauty of the minds eye. 
Born in 1958, Olsen was raised in a farming community in rural Idaho. His parents, artists themselves, recognized and encouraged his early love of drawing. After studying illustration at Utah State University, he was hired as an in-house illustrator in Salt Lake City working on anything from murals to dioramas to simple paste-up. Two years later he followed a friends advice and began painting full time. 
Today, Greg Olsen lives in Utah. Greg's art is the subject of the video, Capturing the Inspiration-The Art of Greg Olsen.
