SPECIAL NOTICE
Please visit my website www.gregkaras.com for a complete listing of paintings and prints.

Currently the Woodbridge Library http://www.woodbridge.lioninc.org/ is exhibiting 24 of my paintings through January. On Saturday there was a reception with food and drink. Thank you all who stopped by to see my work.

2009 began on an unsure note relying on freelancing to make ends meet. Shortly into the year I began full time employment at a major art publishing firm headquartered in Norwalk, CT. It's great inspiration to be surrounded by art. I specialize in digital photography and color correction.
