Greg Gowen's most noted quality is designing, and his hands-on
medium for expressing this talent is through metal sculpting. Although
his artistic desire for design touches many different mediums, his
success and notoriety have been in his popular welded copper and
brass wall hangings and free standing sculptures.
Greg, a native of Texas, was born in 1968 and began welding at
age eight under the guidance of his father, Mike Gowen, a well known
metal sculptor and gallery owner. However, it wasn't until age eighteen
that Greg became interested in a career as an artist, and began
participating in art shows in New Mexico and Arizona. Galleries
quickly became aware of his talent and began exhibiting and selling
his work. Today, Greg’s sculptures are displayed in private
collections, galleries, and museums throughout the U.S. and abroad.
Greg maintains his studio in Albuquerque, New Mexico where he resides
with his wife Deborah, four children, and two dogs. |
