About Greg

Greg Singley was born in 1950 in Greensboro, Alabama. He received his college education at Walker Jr. College and the University of South Alabama, and trained as an illustrator at Ringling College of Art and Design in Sarasota, Florida.

In 1978 he pursued his passion for western art and illustration in Scottsdale, Arizona. Singley worked for several years as Art Director at Phoenix Public Newspaper, The Arizona Republic, and Phoenix Gazette. He freelanced as an illustrator while also selling Indigenous American and Western Landscape works through several Arizona galleries, including Fedderson Petterson Fine Art, Scottsdale; Ratliff Williams Fine Art, Sedona; Dan May Gallery, Phoenix; and The Phoenix Art Group, Phoenix.

He has exhibited with Collectors Editions Fine Art in Canoga Park, CA, Kauai, Hawaii, and Carmel, CA; Stanfield Fine Art in Park City, Utah, and Aspen, CO; Christopher Clark Fine Art, San Francisco, CA; Collectors Fine Art, Carmel, CA; New Masters Fine Art and Jones & Terwilliger Fine Art in Carmel, CA; Meranda Fine Art in Laguna, CA; Simic Fine Art in Carmel and La Jolla, CA; Lois Richards Fine Art in Greenwich, Connecticut; Brigantine Gallery, Chicago, IL; The Collier Gallery, Phoenix, AZ; and Sullivan & Goss Fine Art in Santa Barbara, CA.

His works have been published as serigraph fine art prints and posters by Collectors Editions and Winn Devon Publishing, Seattle, Washington.

Singley is currently represented by Jane Hamilton Fine Art, Tucson, Arizona.

He is a two-time "Best of Show" and First Runner-Up winner at the Slow Poke Western Art Show at Flag Is Up Ranch, Solvang, California.

He is one of the country's leading impressionist painters, with a particular passion for the work of Maynard Dixon, Ed Mell, and Georgia O'Keeffe's Moon Flowers — as well as his wife's rose garden.

Singley's works also appear in many private and corporate collections, including Rittenhouse of Pittsburgh, Barclays Bank in New York City, the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida, Tom Fogerty of Scottsdale, AZ, General John Shalikashvili (Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff), and a top campaign advisor for President John McCain.

His painting Green Desert, which hangs in Lons Restaurant in Phoenix, Arizona, was featured in the film Waiting to Exhale.

He paints iconic imagery of the American West as a strong optical hook.
