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, wild flowers subtlety dusting a field. Large
canvases are the artists 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
Gregs work in many prestigious collections, including Fidelity investments, Texas
Instruments, J.C. Penny, Texaco, Texas Insurance Agency, USAA and many private and
individual collections.
