Greta Vilidaite

I am Greta, a Lithuanian-British oil painter and tutor based in Sheffield. I left my job in neuroscience to pursue painting full-time and live closer to the Peak District.

Working both in the studio and directly from life, I paint alla prima (“all in one go”) to capture the immediacy of the moment and respond instinctively to light, form and atmosphere.

Much of my work begins outdoors, where I observe and interpret the shifting moods of the landscape. My aim is not to replicate a scene, but to convey a sense of place and the emotional tone it evokes. Through bold and varied brushwork and a focus on light, I invite you to step into each painting and experience the moment as I felt it.
