Gregory Wilhelmi has become one of America’s most successful artists because of his ability to weave together light, color and texture. Describing his style as traditional impressionism, Wilhelmi uses short, quick brushstrokes and a bold use of highlights to create movement and energy. The result is an astonishingly vibrant body of work that is collected by numerous art connoisseurs, museums, and corporate collections around the world.

“My work, for the most part, is a reflection of my life—where I’ve been and what I’ve seen and done,” says Wilhelmi. “Sometimes my paintings are about a subject deeply held. Other times my paintings are simply about the light, color, and texture of what I see.” 

Wilhelmi received a degree in fine art from the University of Denver, then later became a tenured faculty member at the Colorado Institute of Art. Today, he lives in Montana, where he works primarily with watercolors, acrylics, and oils to create his highly charged emotional paintings. From forests and plains to villas and small town street scenes, Wilhelmi is that rare artist who can capture the profound and glorious subtleties of everyday life in a snapshot. 



Barry Chappell’s Fine Art Showcase is proud to present Gregory Wilhelmi as a featured artist. For over twenty-five years, this special painter has perfected a unique ability to draw his audience deep into his creative vision. As a result, his body of work is highly collectible.
