Gregg Rochester is a third generation professional artist from Amery, Wisconsin. His landscapes and unique bicycle art are known nationally and internationally. Check out his website.
“Konwn primarily for his colorful landscapes, Rochester shows another side of his work connected to his passion for bicycling. His “Tour d’Art” show, recently displayed at the L.E. Phillips Memorial Library in Eau Claire, features brush-painted racing bicycles, fantasy landscapes from the cyclist’s point of view, and abstracts with bicycle themes. The show has toured nationally and will have its European premier next summer. Rochester’s work has been featured in several national publications and he was named “Wisconsin Artist of the Year” in TOSCA, a Minneapolis arts and culture magazine, in 2012. He is also a featured artist on National Endowment for the Arts website.” – The Artist
