http://www.royalart.com.au/artschool/tch/hansell.htm Greg Hansell FRAS is well known nationally acclaimed local artist & is a member of the Royal Art society of NSW. Greg's exquisite works depict history of Australian rural landscape and sheds.
He often paints old sheds, including close-ups of the corrugated iron, because he sees the history of a shed in every dent and mark. “I’m the second son of a farmer, so I didn’t get the farm, but I grew up with sheds,” he said. Hansell’s paintings of rural landscapes, sheds and farm related items are produced from his own hand made pastels.
Hansell is currently a fellow of the RAS NSW, a council member and director of the society’s art school. He has been a finalist more than 20 times in the Archibald and Wynne Prizes. Hansell lives in Windsor. Not surprisingly, his studio is an old shed, a former hayshed which dates back to the 1890s.
“Some people suggested I tear it down so I could get a view of the river, but it makes a wonderful studio,” he said.
