Greg Pritchard
Greg Pritchard was born and raised in Ottawa and studied art at the High School of Commerce in the Vocational Art Program under teachers and mentors Wilma Pinkus and Daphne Collier. After graduating he went on to study Fine Art at the Univesity of Ottawa before heading to Kingston to complete a degree in Graphic Design at St. Lawrence College. For the next twenty years Greg would enjoy a career in Ottawa's public and private sectors utilizing his design skills in marketing, advertising and project management. A keen patron of the arts Greg spent many years affiliated with Wallack's Art Supplies and The Kidney Foundation of Canada to help organize the Ottawa Fine Art Festival in the Aberdeen Pavilion at Lansdowne Park. In more recent years, Greg picked up his paintbrush and began to explore once again his true love of expression through art.


Artist's Statement
A recent buyer of my work asked me the interesting question: How does an artist paint in the abstract? Most artists when creating a landscape, still life or figurative painting have a point of reference to draw from. An abstract painter still relies on all the principles of painting whether it be lighting, spacial harmony, contrast or composition. With abstract art there is a certain flow and freedom of expression that simply evolves as the painting evolves. The abstract quality comes from deep within an artist's mind and is interpreted through the eyes. The thrilling component of all this is the not knowing how a particular piece of work will be executed until that abstract eye senses completion.
