"My
paintings in many ways record what is most important to
me: my feelings and experiences with family and friends
along with the spiritual aspects of my life. My hope is
that in these images you will find something familiar,
something which will resonate and remind you of what is
important in your own life."
-Greg Olsen
The
art of Greg Olsen illuminates the soul and spirit of its 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 subjects' likeness, but their spirit as well. Landscapes of scenes
from America and the world over reflect the perfect beauty of the mind's
eye.
As a child, Olsen often
relied on his imagination for entertainment - as an adult, his imagination
entertains us with paintings that depict the best and brightest memories of
childhood.
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.

"
'What's this on your hand?' Such an innocent and concerned inquiry
from a little child surely would bring forth a tender answer from the
Savior. He might reply, 'That's a reminder of just how much I love
you."

A
loving Christ, comforting and forgiving a woman kneeling before Him. The
light source in the room seems celestial, and the palette of rich, glowing
colors is nothing short of magnificent. This beautiful image is a comforting
reminder of the significance of this sacred holiday.
