Positive and Optimistic

I have been creating art for a long time and a consistent theme in all my work has been a positive look at the subject. My positive message in my work is very much by choice. I want to focus my work on what is good and beautiful in the world around me, enjoying art is key in my life.

Over the years I have created work for several large companies, institutions and global marketing firms. A simple web search of my name will show the extent of my work on the auction markets today. Those works were created in very large edition and sold throughout the world.

This site is only my personal work in my studio. All work on this site are one-of-a-kind pieces or the original paintings or drawings. A few sculptures I do offer in different materials that I feel appropriate for the subject, and others are very limited-edition bronzes.

I will also be showing my sketches and field studies from time to time. All work is for sale. Anyone interested in purchasing my work can contact me at Gmcmoniglestudio@comcast.net
