Introducing new artist, Greta Sandquist, to GoodWay's talented and creative family.

Greta creates modern impressionistic paintings inspired by nature, portraiture, and animals. Her passion is to capture the mood and essence of her subject through fresh, bold brushstrokes, brilliant color, and pattern work. She works with oil paint on wood or hardboard panels, finishing each piece with a carefully selected antique or repurposed frame.

Greta trained as an illustrator and worked in commercial art for 15 years before following her heart into her true passion of painting in 2010. She began selling her work at art fairs and local galleries and shops, and occasionally doing commission work. Largely self-taught, she developed her distinctive style through experimentation and following her creative intuition. 

Living and working in St Paul, Minnesota, she balances her art life with her home life of 3 kids, 2 cats, a husband, and good friends.
