Greensweig has resided over 30 years in the wine country of Northern California, a favorite subject in her work. The artist also enjoys painting on location "en plein aire." Art trtips to Southern France early in her career led Greensweig to start painting sunflowers and fields of lavender before each became trendy. Her favorite sports aborad are the hilltops villages of Provence as well as San Miguel de Allende in Colonial Mexico with its rich adobe colors.

Her paintings are part of private and corporate collections in the U.S. and internationally. Greensweig paints on commission for private clients and businesses.

Greensweig attended the University of California at San Diego and the University of Arizona earning a B.A. and M.A. degrees and has taught art classes professionally to all ages.
