Gregory Biolchini, Painter and
Teacher
From an early age, Greg has worked
to hone his craft, learning from past masters and inventing his own
techniques and styles. In the process, he has built a body of work and list of awards that any painter would be proud
to call his own.
With 30 solo and many juried group
exhibitions to his credit, Greg Biolchini's list of shows is testament
to his solid local and growing national reputation. After winning his
third national award at the National Arts Club in New York City, Greg
was awarded Master Pastelist status by the Pastel Society of America.
This, combined with his growing list of national honors and awards has
helped further his reputation.
Greg enjoys tremendous popularity
as a teacher. His workshops and demonstrations are
well attended and consistently rated by attendees as superb.
Greg lives and works in Southwest
Florida, with studio and teaching space on the Caloosahatchee River in
North Fort Myers. He holds ongoing workshops in pastel, oil, and
portraiture in his teaching studio and for art groups throughout Florida
and the US.
