About The Artist

Greta’s artwork is inspired by folk art, magic, and nature, often telling stories through bold colors, organic forms, and mixed materials. She describes her process as “playful prayer”— a journey of collecting, experimenting, and discovering. She explores a wide range of mediums and enjoys how working with different materials and techniques opens new creative possibilities.

Greta’s passion for public art and community is at the heart of her practice. She views art as a way to care for her community and loves sharing this joy through teaching.
