Eco-Friendly Painting: Green Art Studio

Greg Patch, the artist behind www.GreenArtStudio.com, not only creates paintings that are visually healing and beautiful, but he works in a medium that helps to create a healthy environment.

Most paintings and paints are composed of many toxic chemicals (like formaldehyde), petro-oils, plastics, heavy metals, preservatives and fungicides. All of these materials produce off-gassing that increase the toxicity of the environment in which they are manufactured and displayed.

Greg’s paintings are created using a natural, food container safe medium of beeswax and pigments that are carefully selected for their non toxic characteristics. You can view a selection of his works, and read more about the beeswax medium by following these links:
