Summary
Greg Newbold is a fine art painter and illustrator based near Salt Lake City, Utah. Greg says that for him, "art is a soulful expression."

Greg's evocative, contemporary paintings are eagerly desired by collectors from around the globe. Greg characterizes his approach to painting as Stylized Realism.
