Greg Guedel majored in painting at the Art Institute of Chicago, and later ventured into woodcarving after receiving a surprise gift of knives and chisels in 1993. He combines his love of painting and wood carving to create these characters: sure to delight both child and collector alike. Below you will find Greg Guedel's original designs, which are one of a kind and available only on our site! The longer it takes Greg to finish a piece, the more he likes it, feeling like it has become a tried and true friend with the time spent together during the creation and painting process.
