About The Artists Greg & Theresa Preheim
“By the time I was in high school I was always drawing in class
and getting into trouble for it. I use to haul bales for $4 a day, I
could jazz up a high school kids car for $5 in half the time.”
Sometime around 1962 I lettered a Loe Brother’s Pickup and put
the feed logo on it. I charged $25. They paid me five times the
wage for hauling bales. After that I knew I would never haul bales
again”.

“When I was around four years old I got into my Mother’s
makeup kit. I painted my face (almost perfect Mom tells me), and
then proceeded to paint the walls with flowers and butterflies;
I suppose that was the true beginning of Whimsies".
