Gregory Pole began his professional career in 1972. He has illustrated over 21 books relating to wildlife and natural history. His paintings and sculptures have sold throughout the United Sates and Canada and as far away as Norway and England. He has works of art in the World Wildlife Art Museum in Las Vegas, Nevada, The Jack O"Connor Museum at the University of Idaho, The Van-Ru Corporate art collection in Sioux City, Iowa, and various galleries from south Florida to the Northwest.

   Greg has shown in many wildlife and western art shows throughout the west and has had a number of one-man shows from the east coast of Florida to the west coast of the United States. He has received national recognition when he was chosen as the sole artist to represent the states of Alaska and Idaho in a national art show displayed in the Senate Rotunda building in Washington, D.C. He received further recognition when one of his paintings was selected from among 2500 works of art to included in the Spirit of the West art show sponsored by West One Bank. This particular painting was subsequently purchased by the President of West One for display in his office. In 1995, Greg completed a major commission for the Weitz Dental Building. His work portrayed different species of North American Bear through relief, sculpture and painted murals.

   For over 15 years, Greg has been documenting the life of the working cowboy in the Northwest. He spent a significant part of each year photographing, and riding with, cowboys on working ranches. His paintings truly capture the unique beauty of the wilderness, the wildlife and the people who make their home in this part of the "Old West". His western paintings are accurate, detailed representations of a vanishing people and their way of life.

   Greg's wildlife paintings are based upon his personal experience guiding and photographing wildlife throughout North America, British Columbia, Northwest Territories, Alaska and abroad. The amount of time Greg has spent in the wilderness lends an authenticity to his work which is of great value to the serious collector.

   Collectors can look forward to a variety of new art as Greg continues to pursue opportunities for adventure in the Old West and abroad.
