Green Art Studio

A lot of paintings are composed of toxic chemicals, petro-oils, plastics and heavy metals along with preservatives and fungicides like formaldehyde. A lot of paintings also produce off gases that increase the toxicity of the environment in which they are manufactured and displayed.


Greg Patch of Green Art Studios uses beeswax and pigments that are toxicologically harmless - food container safe by European and US standards. The papers he is using are sustainably harvested plant based materials or recycled cotton pulp.

He says: My paintings move with the forces of nature - the streams, mountains, astrology, technology, thoughts, actions, energy, self, lunch – and culminate in the realization that everything is the wave.

I believe that nature calls to each of us to step out of ourselves and into it, to identify and revel within it, amid the waves. Doing this can transform our awareness into an energy greater than our own understanding.
