Born in 1957 in San Antonio, Greg Glowka grew up with an appreciation for the natural beauty of the surrounding Texas Hill Country. He began painting at age 14, but his attention turned to commercial art in college at the University of Texas in San Antonio. After a successful career as a graphic designer, he now spends most of his time back at the easel. His landscapes are “better than being there”. Almost photographic but with the richness of oil paints, one is drawn into the scenery and breathes the atmosphere of each location: hills strewn with oak trees, light dancing on cool streams, sunsets of gold and orange, wildflowers subtlety dusting a field. Large canvases are the artist’s specialty. Greg prefers painting on location, spending quiet afternoons in the middle of nowhere far from the hustle and bustle of the city; however, he often works in his studio from memory or photographs taken over the years. You will find Greg’s work in many prestigious collections, including Fidelity Investments, Texas Instruments, J. C. Penney, Texaco, Texas Insurance Agency, USAA and many private and individual collections.
