Wild Hemlock, 717 Commercial Ave

Greg Dugan is a local artist who grew up in California, but has made Anacortes his home for the past 10 years. The subject matter for his work is both realistic and whimsical done in a variety of mediums. Most of his work is rendered in watercolor and pencil, but he does enjoy using pen and ink as well. “Today my focus is on creating new and unique artwork, and sharing my knowledge with those who want to learn to draw and paint.”
