Alexander’s artistic journey began at age six, inspired by his father’s ability to create art from a plain sheet of paper. While attending art college, he felt the curriculum diverged from his desire to paint nature. After a discussion with the dean and presenting his portfolio, he was encouraged to pursue self-guided study. Following this, Greg relocated from St. Paul, Minnesota, to the south shore of Lake Superior, where he spent four years living in a remote log cabin. During this period, he honed his artistic skills, developing the ability to create inspiring and captivating art based on his close observations of nature. His dedication and passion for wildlife have positioned him as a premier wildlife artist today.
Greg Alexander currently resides near Ashland, Wisconsin, with his wife Gina and their two daughters, Leisha and Marilyn. This location in the north woods provides him with ongoing inspiration for his art. In addition to his artistic endeavors, Alexander is also a National Registered EMT and a Firefighter, demonstrating a commitment to community service alongside his artistic career.
