Greg Adamson's day job is currently Regional Vice President of the Inland Empire Commercial Banking Group, Union Bank.  

But art is truly his passion. His art background stems from a lifelong love for art and artistic expression.  He enrolled in a few art classes in school, but opted for an education and career that offered economic stability.  Move forward 20 years to approximately 5 years ago when his children were nearing adulthood and he was finally able to allow himself to again pursue his passion for creative expression.   

His current medium of choice is watercolor.  Over the past five years he has studied with some outstanding and perhaps legendary artist/teachers, including Milford Zornes, Henry Fukuhara, Skip Lawrence, Frank Webb, Christopher Schink Tom Lynch, and Gerald Brommer.  Local Riverside master, Don O'Neill, AWS has also been a good friend and mentor to Greg. 

Greg also began participating in Italian street painting festivals about 3 and a half years ago.  He doesn't regularly work in chalk, except when doing one of these events.  To date he has done more than 20 of them with a typical project size of 10 ft. by 12 ft.  He enjoys the opportunity to create original works on a very large scale.  He also likes to recreate works of the masters such as Raphael and Michelangelo which provides a valuable learning experience. Greg has been the featured artist in several street painting events and has been interviewed for television news segments on at least three occasions.
