Nestled in the vibrant art scene of Santa Fe, New Mexico, Greg Joubert has carved a unique niche as a sculptor and painter whose work exudes creativity and craftsmanship. Born in 1977 in Hingham, Massachusetts, Joubert’s artistic journey began under the guidance of his grandfather, a carpenter who introduced him to woodworking. This early influence laid the foundation for his signature style, blending fine woodworking with abstract sculpture.
Joubert’s sculptures, often crafted from sustainable exotic woods or materials harvested from New Mexico’s Jemez Forests, are striking in their balance and rhythm. His hand-carved aspen and pine pieces, frequently torched, burnished, and painted, reflect a spontaneous yet soulful creative process. Works like Converge (77 x 12 x 12”) and Shift (46 x 6 x 23”) showcase his ability to transform wood into dynamic, emotive forms. His paintings, meanwhile, range from vibrant abstracts to minimalist mixed media incorporating gold, copper, and silver leaf, adding a luxurious touch to his portfolio.

After finding traditional education uninspiring, Joubert moved to Santa Fe in 2002 to study fine woodworking, a leap of faith that ignited his passion for sculpture. Influenced by the Santa Fe art community, he embraced the freedom of abstract forms while grounding his work in technical precision. His art, as he describes, is a “constant evolution,” capturing personal experiences and emotions that invite viewers to find their own interpretations.
Joubert’s pieces have graced galleries across Santa Fe, including Owen Contemporary and AME International Art Space, and his work has found homes in collections in California, Texas, Colorado, Chicago, and New York.
