Greg Hansell was born in Goulburn, NSW, and now lives on the historic Peninsula area of Windsor, and many of the sites he has painted are within walking distance from his studio overlooking the Hawkesbury River.
Greg has been a full-time artist since 1980 in the traditionalist or realist school of Australian painting. His medium is pastel and he uses a combination of handmade earth pastels and Schmincke pastels. His Earth Pastels are " hand made only from rocks and clays with no commercial pigment, binder or additive used in their manufacture. (Their) Permanence has been tested to the ultimate rating".
Hansell is a fellow of the Royal Art Society of New South Wales and his paintings are represented in corporate and academic collections.
He has been a finalist over 20 times in the Archibald and Wynne prizes and Salon de Refuse and was awarded a Centenary of Federation medal in 2001 for services to community arts and Windsor Library.
