David Greyshock Biography

In a world where the precision of engineering intersects with the boundless landscapes of art, my journey unfolds.  My name is Dave Greyshock, a mechanical engineer by training, who found an unexpected calling in the world of art, driven by curiosity and a lifelong passion for creation.

My path into the arts has been both deliberate and serendipitous, marked by a quest for understanding and an innate desire to create. This path has led me through diverse territories—from the tactile richness of welding and woodworking to the fluid dance of glassblowing and pottery. However, it was in the vibrant spectrum of painting that I discovered a deep passion.

The catalyst for this exploration into painting was a project with my children, Kristin and Jack, designed to kindle their artistic interests. Together, we ventured into the world of abstract acrylic spin paintings, a journey that began with the creation of a spin machine. This venture was more than a technical challenge; it was an adventure into shared creativity, transforming our garage into a studio where colors whirled into life.

Though Kristin and Jack's interests may have veered into new directions, the seed planted during those shared moments blossomed into a profound passion for me. The act of painting, particularly through the method we explored together, became a source of quiet joy. It offered a space where the analytical meshed with the abstract, producing art that was as surprising as it was mesmerizing. 

I have continued to develop my skills and have most recently started adding abstract elements of nature to my paintings.  My new wildlife serieshas become a vibrant celebration of contrast and harmony where the predictable beauty of nature meets the spontaneous whirl of spin art.

Thank you for joining me on this adventure. My hope is that these pieces resonate with you and bring you some of the joy realized when they were created.
