Joy Love 36 x 36” Oil

On painting, Gregory Packard writes:

“It’s sort of like you are writing the symphony at the same time you are playing it!”

Gregory Packard knew he had an artist’s sensitivity, but didn’t come to pursuing painting seriously until he was 28. Since then, he has excelled, with work showing in juried exhibitions across the country. His paintings have been featured in multiple national publications, including: Western Art Collector, Southwest Art, Art of the West and American Art Collector. We asked him to write us about growing up with an artist’s inclination, working in a more traditional job and ultimately making the decision to take the leap to becoming a full-time painter.
