Greg Innes lives on southern Vancouver Island. He paints landscapes, animals and people. His realistic and surreal forests, streets, deserts and oceans are sometimes based on specific places but are often just imaginative panoramas. The local birds, animals and landscapes of the West Coast are usual subjects in his paintings. Greg often uses angles and Dynamic Symmetry to add interest to his compositions. He strives for meticulous detail in faces, which are often juxtaposed to the more painterly surrounding landscapes. Greg is influenced by painters such as Lauren Harris, AY Jackson, Maynard Dixon and the diverse fantasy lands of S Dali, Gustav Klimt and Peter Doig. Greg's creative approach centers around envisioning a scene and painting it after a composition is imagined or a sketch is made on location.

Greg started to paint oil landscapes in 2019 and now there are always paintings on the go in the studio. He likes to visit the locations he paints for inspiration and composition, and sometimes paints en plein air.

Greg has been building fine rustic furniture since 1995. Sketching the design, sourcing the wood and building very unique pieces. He has also built cedar strip surfboards and a canoe, and now rustic picture frames to frame his paintings.
